Re: centripedal force

Yeah that's the formula, but I don't think there's a way to derive it.

Ok - obviously there is.

Re: centripedal force

bored of sc said:
Yeah, it does.

A = v2/r
Acceleration of circular movement of object = tangential velocity2/radius of circular object

F = ma
Force = mass.acceleration --> explained through Newton's 2nd Law of Motion I believe.

Since A = v2/r sub v2/r as a into f = ma
Therefore, F = m/1.(v2/r)
Multiply numerators and denominators seperately.
F = mv2/r
thanks man, you help me out a lot. :eek:
