Formula for the velocity of the centripetal force

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the tangential velocity of an object undergoing circular motion due to centripetal force. The relevant formulas provided are v = rw and w = 2π/T, where r is the radius (100 cm) and T is the period (0.98 seconds). Additionally, the correct formula for centripetal force is F = (mv²)/r, which acts radially inward. The term "velocity of a centripetal force" is clarified as a misnomer, emphasizing the distinction between force and velocity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of circular motion concepts
  • Familiarity with angular velocity and tangential velocity
  • Knowledge of the formula for centripetal force
  • Basic algebra for manipulating equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the relationship between angular velocity and tangential velocity
  • Learn about the derivation of centripetal force and its applications
  • Explore examples of circular motion in real-world scenarios
  • Investigate the effects of varying radius and mass on centripetal force
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, particularly those focusing on mechanics and circular motion, as well as educators preparing practical demonstrations of centripetal force concepts.

Hi, can anyone please tell me the fomular for the velocity of a centripetal force with the radius of 100 cm, with one revolution revolting in 0.98 seconds?
 
Physics news on Phys.org


Here are the formulas you will need to solve the problem:
v = rw
w = 2pi/T

By the way, the "velocity of a centripetal force" does not have much meaning. Force is a vector; it doesn't have velocity. You might as well have asked what the mass of the force was, or the radius of the force. I think you meant to say that you are trying to find the tangential velocity of an object undergoing circular motion due to a centripetal force.
 


Thanks for you're help, anyway i have another question. What is the formula for centripetal force?, our physics teacher gave us a practical to do but he forgot to give us a note on centripetal force.
 


It's F = (mv^2)/r, directed radially inward.
