The magnitude and direction of the two forces are equivalent. The centrifugal force has no effect on a moving body; the centripetal force is the only force that acts on a moving body. The centripetal force’s source is shifted radially from the path’s centre by the centrifugal force.
Force
The motion of an object is stopped or tends to be stopped by a force that moves or tends to move. A force can also modify the path of an object’s motion. It can also change the shape or size of the body it is acting on. As a vector quantity, it possesses both magnitude and direction.
Real forces are described in classical physics by a set of axioms named Newton’s laws of motion, that are applied to an inertial reference frame. The actual force F acting on a body of uniform mass is equal to ma, as per Newton’s second law. Force is a vector quantity.
SI units for force
The newton, abbreviated N, is the SI unit of force. One Newton is the force that creates an acceleration of one metre per second square in a body of mass one kg, as per Newton’s second law of motion.
Types of forces
Contact forces
Any force that necessitates touch is referred to as a contact force. The most obvious interactions between macroscopic groups of matter are caused by contact forces, which are ubiquitous.
Non-contact force
A non-contact force is one that works on an object without coming directly into touch with it. Gravity, that provides weight, is the most well-known non-contact force. On the other hand, a contact force is a force that acts on an object which comes into actual touch with it.
Gravitational force
The gravitational force is a force that pulls all mass-bearing objects. The gravitational force is referred to as attractive because it always strives to attract masses together rather than pushing them apart. In essence, everything in the world, including you, is pulling on every other object.
Motion
The condition of an object is called motion when it changes its location in relation to time in relation to other things. In simple terms, motion is defined as a change in the location of an item.
Rotatory motion
A unique kind of motion in which an object rotates around a specified point, such as a figure skater on an ice rink.
Oscillatory motion
A swing is an example of a repetitive motion where an object repeatedly performs the same motion.
Linear motion
A one-dimensional motion along a straight line, similar to a runner sprinting on a track.
Reciprocating motion
A needle in a sewing machine makes a rhythmic and constant up and down or back and forth motion.
Centripetal force
The centripetal force acts on an object moving in a circular motion and is applied towards the object’s centre of rotation. Whenever an object moves at a constant speed along a circular path, it is subjected to a centrifugal force that accelerates it towards the centre.
If we say centripetal, we’re talking about the tendency to gravitate towards the centre. Moving in a manner that leads to the centre of anything is considered as centripetal. A centripetal force is described as the force that causes an object to travel in a circular circle while also assisting it in staying on course. Its value is also influenced by three factors:
The speed of the thing as it moves around the circle.
The overall distance between an object and the centre of the path.
The mass of the element.
Centrifugal force
When observed in a rotating frame of reference, the centrifugal force appears to act on all objects. It is oriented away from a parallel axis to the axis of rotation and passes through the coordinate system’s origin.
Formula of Centripetal Force
The formula for centripetal force is given as
Fc=mv2 /r
Where,
The centripetal force is denoted by Fc
The mass of the item is denoted by m
Velocity of moving object is v
The radius of the circular path is denoted by r.
Relation between centripetal force and centrifugal force
The force needed for circular motion is called centripetal force. The centrifugal force causes things to escape from the centre. The main distinction between centripetal and centrifugal forces is that the centripetal force is the force referring towards the centre of a circle which keeps an object moving in a circular path, whereas the centrifugal force is the sensation that an object feels whenever it moves in that circular path
Conclusion
The centripetal force acts on an object moving in a circular motion and is applied towards the object’s centre of rotation. Whenever an object moves at a constant speed along a circular path, it is subjected to a centrifugal force that accelerates it towards the centre.
The centrifugal force is a fictional force that occurs when a particle moves in a circular route which has the same magnitude and dimensions as the centripetal force but points in the reverse direction.
The condition of an object is called motion when it changes its location in relation to time in relation to other things. In simple terms, motion is defined as a change in the location of an item.
