Centripetal force (N) 40

Formula: F = m·v² ÷ r

Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Mass = 2

3. Velocity = 10

4. Radius = 5

6. Centripetal force = 40N

Did we solve your problem today?

The centripetal force pulls an object toward the center of its circular path.

The math behind it

F = mass × velocity² ÷ radius.

2 kg, 10 m/s, 5 m → 40 N.

Centrifugal force?

That's the apparent outward force felt in the rotating frame — same magnitude.
