the force towards the center of a curved object. It would be like the yo yo at the brown county fair.

Centirpetal Force is the net force exerte toward the center of a curved path. An example is a car turning a corner. The force must be acting on the car to keep it on a curve path.The force is the friction between the tires and the road surface.

Centipetal force is the force towards the center of a curved path. An example would be a ball going through a tube. Another example would be someone throwing a softball.

Centripal force is the net force exerted toward the center of a curved path. According to the second law of motion when the ball has centripal acceleration, the direction of the net force on the ball also must be toward the center of the curved path.

Centripetal force is the net force exerted toward the center of a curved path. An example would be the swings at the fair because they keep on spinning in a circle.

the net force exerted toward the center of a curved path is called a centripetal in is also like a ball moving through a tube and stuff.

Centripical Force is the net force exerted toward the center of a curved path. When a ball moves through a tube, the centripetal corce is the force exerted by the walls of the tube on the ball.

Centripetal force is the force towards the center of a cuveed path. An example of centripetal force would be a ball rolling through a tube. Another example would be a swing. The person on the swing has built up momentum by using centipetal force, which then keeps the swing moving.

This is the net force exerted toward the center of a curved path. It is like the yoyo and it is like someone on a swing.
