We solve for centripetal acceleration, centripetal force, and tangential velocity. In this Closer Look segment on circular motion, we investigate circular motion and solve for centripetal acceleration ...

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 week Shini sits down with us to discuss centripetal force, centrifugal force, and a few other bits of physics to help us understand Uniform Circular motion. Crash Course Physics is available to ...

The force exerted on a charge is always perpendicular to the velocity of the charge. The force exerted changes the velocity so the direction of the applied force changes as a result. Overall this ...
