What is centripetal movement?
Click to flip
Centripetal movement refers to the motion of an object moving in a circular path that is directed towards the center of the circle.
Click to flip
What force is responsible for centripetal movement?
Click to flip
Centripetal force is responsible for causing centripetal movement by constantly pulling an object towards the center of its circular path.
Click to flip
Give an example of a situation involving centripetal force.
Click to flip
A car taking a circular turn on a track involves centripetal force acting towards the center of the circular path.
Click to flip
Which way does centripetal force act in circular motion?
Click to flip
Centripetal force acts inwards, towards the center of the circle.
Click to flip
What is the formula for centripetal force?
Click to flip
The formula for centripetal force is F = m*v^2/r, where F is the force, m is the mass, v is the velocity, and r is the radius of the circle.
Click to flip
How does speed affect centripetal force?
Click to flip
As the speed of an object increases, the centripetal force required to maintain circular motion also increases.
Click to flip
What role does friction play in centripetal motion of a car?
Click to flip
Friction between the car’s tires and the road provides the centripetal force necessary for the car to negotiate a curve.
Click to flip
Is centripetal force a real force acting on the object?
Click to flip
Yes, centripetal force is a real force that acts on an object to keep it moving in a circular path.
Click to flip
What differentiates centripetal force from centrifugal force?
Click to flip
Centripetal force is a real force acting towards the center, while centrifugal force is a perceived force that appears to act outward on an object moving in a circular path (when observed from a rotating frame).
Click to flip
What can happen if an insufficient centripetal force is applied?
Click to flip
If insufficient centripetal force is applied, the object will not follow the circular path and may move in a tangential straight line or off the path.
Click to flip
Why is centripetal force important in amusement park rides?
Click to flip
Centripetal force is vital in keeping riders safely in motion along loops and curves without falling off due to gravity.
Click to flip
How do banking angles in roads relate to centripetal motion?
Click to flip
Banked curves on roads help reduce reliance on friction by creating additional centripetal force to keep cars on their circular paths at high speeds.
Click to flip
In what direction is the velocity of an object experiencing centripetal force?
Click to flip
The velocity of an object in centripetal motion is always tangent to the circular path.
Click to flip
How does radius affect centripetal force in circular motion?
Click to flip
As the radius increases, the required centripetal force decreases, assuming mass and velocity remain constant.
Click to flip
What is the impact of mass on centripetal force?
Click to flip
Greater mass requires a greater centripetal force to maintain the same circular motion, as force is directly proportional to mass.
