Formula for the velocity of the centripetal force

AI Thread Summary
To find the tangential velocity of an object in circular motion with a radius of 100 cm and a period of 0.98 seconds, use the formulas v = rw and w = 2pi/T. The term "velocity of a centripetal force" is misleading, as force is a vector and does not possess velocity. Instead, the focus should be on calculating the tangential velocity resulting from the centripetal force. The formula for centripetal force is F = (mv^2)/r, which acts radially inward.

Hi, can anyone please tell me the fomular for the velocity of a centripital force with the radius of 100 cm, with one revolution revolting in 0.98 seconds?

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 centripital force?, our physics teacher gave us a practical to do but he forgot to give us a note on centripital force.
 


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

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
