Physics 504: Centripetal Force

Centripetal Force: Circular motion is described in terms of inertia and centripetal force. Students use experimentation to determine the relationships among mass, centripetal force, velocity, and radius when motion is circular. The equation for calculating centripetal force is used to everyday situations.
