A couple of commenters expressed concern over the use of centrifugal force after my rant on the use of the word force. So, what is the deal with these two terms? Are they ok to use? Are they real ...

This worksheet covers the following content: -a constant net force perpendicular to the velocity of an object causes it to travel in a circular path -centripetal acceleration; a = v²/r ; a = ω²r ...

Centripetal and centrifugal forces are two terms used to describe the physics of circular motion — but only one of them is real. The centripetal force keeps an object moving in a circle and is always ...

An object traveling in a circle, even at constant speed, is accelerating. That's because its direction is constantly changing to point to the center of the circular path — a condition that's defined ...
