Hello Friends,
Welcome to this session on the centripetal force by Letstute. In this session, we have will understand what is the centripetal force, centrifugal force, frictional force, and how these forces are inter-related.
We have made this video based on a 3D simulation, where we see how the mass, velocity and radius affects the centripetal force and frictional force. Centripetal force is a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed towards the center around which the body is moving. This word is derived from Latin words centrum meaning "center" and petere meaning "to seek".
The centripetal force depends on the mass of the object, velocity of the object and the radius of the path. Centrifugal force is a force, arising from the body's inertia, which appears to act on a body moving in a circular path and is directed away from the center around which the body is moving. The same centripetal force is responsible for the loop-de-loop for roller coasters, a satellite around the earth, in this case, the gravitational force acts as the centripetal force and also, they help for a car to take a turn. In this experiment, we observe and control the simulation of a person on a merry-go-round to explore what makes a person stay stable or fall off which is usually due to the effects of static frictional force and centripetal force.
The objective of this case is to understand the concept of Centripetal force and the direction in which it acts on a body in a circular motion. Also Check out our Simulation Packs available at special discount: http://escavel.in/scholar/simulationpacks #Escavel #Class9Physics #CentripetalForce
