Circular motion and Gravitmnjhygbjation.pptx

Centripetal force is the inward force that causes an object moving in a circular path to change direction. It acts towards the center of the circular path and prevents objects from flying off in a straight line. Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object towards the center of its circular path, and it allows objects to travel in circular motion rather than a straight line due to an inward force like centripetal force.Read less
