Centripetal in a sentence

The centripetal force can also be supplied as a 'push' force, such as in the case where the normal reaction of a wall supplies the centripetal force for a wall of death rider.

While objects naturally follow a straight path (due to inertia ), this centripetal acceleration describes the circular motion path caused by a centripetal force.

At what point do we go to strengthen centripetal forces?

With this background why is it that our relations with Australia have seen both centrifugal and centripetal forces at play and now will our common concern of countering China result in closer cooperation between our nations?

In his representation before the Finance Commission, KCR has alleged that the Indian Constitution was adopted with significant centripetal bias in the distribution of fiscal powers between the Centre and the States.

They are not for navigation, as in ships and aircraft, but the craft uses the centripetal force of gyroscopic spin for steering.

A centripetal force of this form causes the elliptical motion.

After his 1679–1680 correspondence with Hooke, described below, Newton adopted the language of inward or centripetal force.

But in a frame rotating about a fixed axis, the object appears to move in a circle, and is subject to centripetal force (which is made up of the Coriolis force and the centrifugal force).

But there are also sections with far-reaching application to the solar system and universe: Propositions 57–69 citation deal with the "motion of bodies drawn to one another by centripetal forces".

Figure 3: Exploded view of rotating spheres in an inertial frame of reference showing the centripetal forces on the spheres provided by the tension in the tying string.

For nonrelativistic particles, the centripetal force required to keep them in their curved path is : where is the particle's mass, its velocity, and is the radius of the path.

However, this is a rough labelling: a careful designation of the true centripetal force refers to a local reference frame that employs the directions normal and tangential to the path, not coordinates referred to the axis of rotation.

If an instantaneous centripetal force (red arrow) is considered on the planet during its orbit, the area of the triangles defined by the path of the planet will be the same.

If the spheres really are rotating, the tension observed is exactly the centripetal force required by the circular motion.

If the westward train in the above example increases speed, part of the force of gravity that pushes against the track accounts for the centripetal force needed to keep it in circular motion on the inertial frame.

In any circular orbit, the centripetal force required to maintain the orbit (F c ) is provided by the gravitational force on the satellite (F g ).

In practice, because the Earth is not an inertial rest frame but experiences centripetal acceleration towards the Sun, many aberrational effects such as annual aberration on Earth cannot be considered light-time corrections.

In the case of an object that is swinging around on the end of a rope in a horizontal plane, the centripetal force on the object is supplied by the tension of the rope.

In this case it is said to be undergoing centripetal (directed towards the center) acceleration.
