C. Force

What is cetripetal force?? What is it used for, give me an example.

Centripetal force is a net force that is directed toward the center of a curved or circular path. When an object is in circular motion, it needs centripetal force. when a car is spinning in circles, it needs centripetal force to keep it spinning.

It is a two-word phrase that starts with a "C." Also, it is a net force directed toward the center of a path. This path would be curved or circular. and that ain't no lie....baby bye bye bye....

centripeta force is a net force that is directed toward the center of a curbed or circular path. a ball moving through the tube the centripetal force is the force exerted by the walls of the tube on the ball.

Cetripetal force is the force, acting upon a body moving along a curved path, that is directed toward the center of curvature of the path and constrains the body to the path. So like when a car rounds a curve on a highway, a centripetal force must be acting on the car to kkeep it moving in a curved path.

It is a motion in a curved path that requires a force directed towards the center of the path. It means "central seeking" force.

It is the net force exerted toward the center of a curved path. When a ball has centripetal acceleration, the direction of the net force on the ball must be toward the center of the curved path. For the ball moving throught the tube, the centripetal force is the force exerted by the walls of the tube on the ball.

centripetal force is the net force exerted toward the center of a curved path it is used for finding the net force for a ball going through a bent up tube, like on page 81 of are books.

The net force exerted towards the cetner of the curved path is called a centripetal force..... that what this is..... and for the ball moving through the tube, the centripetal force is the force exerted by th walls of the tube on the ball.

centripetal force is a fnet that is directed toward the center of a path. when the object is in a circular motion in has to have that centripetall force

Cetripetal force is a net force that is directed toward the center of a curved or circular path. It is used to keep the object on the right path, like a car going on a curvy road. Catripetal force has to be on the force to keep it in moving on the curving path.

well C Force is known as cetripetal force. It is a net force that is directed toward the center of a curved or circular path. Like when you are spinning around you need a centripetal force, so you can stay spinning around on a merry go around.

Like the moon of the earth the object goes around another object and stays in the motion of going around in circles. The moon woud fly of in a straight line but the gravity of the earth holds the moon in place so it keeps going in circles. Or like a ball on a string when your twirling around in circles the ball stays in a circle because of the string but if the string broke the ball would fly off in a straight line.

Centripetal force is the net force exterted toward the center of a curved path. It is used for keeping an object on track. An example is like a car going going aound a curve on a highway. The centripetal force in that example is the traction between the tires and the road.

Cetripeta forces is a force that is a net force that is directed toward the center of a curved or circlualar path. An exaple could be when it is going in some type of circular motion and so crytical force is needed and so that is what keeps it spinning.

Centripetal force is a net force that is directed toward the center of a cicular or curved path.Like when you have wheel is spinning or anything circular is spinning it needs centripetal force to keep it going.

Centripetal force is the force that makes you follow a circular or curved path. It is pretty much whenever something is moving in a circular motion and then centripetal force is there.

It's a net force that is directed toward the center of a curved or circular path. So, like when something is spinning around in a circle it needs a centripetal force. An example is like when a car does like a cookie in a parking lot or something it needs a centripetal force so that it keeps spinning.

It is a net force that is directed toward the center of a curved path. When something is is in circular motion it needs centripetal force. when a ball is spinning it curves and twists, it needs the centripetal force to keep it curving.

Well centripetal force is a net force that is directed toward the center of a curved are circular path. Like when an object is spinning in circles and needs this force to keep spinning.

It is net force that is directed toward the center of a curved or circular path.

It is a force that is directed toward the center of a curved or circular path. An example is when you are on a roller coaster you dont fly off because of centripetal force.

I think you should read physics book about to know cetripetal force.
