FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is centripetal force?
Back
Centripetal force is the net force that acts on an object moving in a circular path, directed towards the center of the circle.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does mass affect centripetal force?
Back
The centripetal force increases with the mass of the object; specifically, F_c = m * v^2 / r, where F_c is centripetal force, m is mass, v is velocity, and r is radius.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to centripetal force if the velocity of an object triples?
Back
If the velocity triples, the centripetal force increases by a factor of 9, since F_c is proportional to the square of the velocity.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for centripetal force?
Back
F_c = m * v^2 / r, where F_c is centripetal force, m is mass, v is velocity, and r is radius.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the relationship between radius and centripetal force?
Back
Centripetal force is inversely proportional to the radius; as the radius increases, the centripetal force required decreases for a given mass and velocity.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the role of friction in circular motion?
Back
Friction provides the necessary centripetal force to keep an object moving in a circular path; without sufficient friction, the object may skid out of the path.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you calculate the coefficient of static friction?
Back
The coefficient of static friction (μ_s) can be calculated using the formula: μ_s = F_f / F_n, where F_f is the force of friction and F_n is the normal force.
