Centripetal force - Wikipedia Centripetal force (from Latin centrum 'center' and petere 'to seek'[1]) is the force that makes a body follow a curved path The direction of the centripetal force is always orthogonal to the motion of the body and towards the fixed point of the instantaneous center of curvature of the path
Centripetal Force Definition, Examples, and Formula Centripetal force is a fundamental concept in physics, referring to the force that acts on an object moving in a circular path and is directed towards the center around which the object is moving
6. 6: Centripetal Force - Physics LibreTexts Any net force causing uniform circular motion is called a centripetal force The direction of a centripetal force is toward the center of curvature, the same as the direction of centripetal acceleration
