It is a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the object is moving. A car turning a sharp corner is an example of this.

Centripetal force is a force pulling to the center or axis.

Or driving in a circle like a race car track.

Centripetal force is when something is moving in a circle and the force is in the center, the more stronger this force the faster the object is moving.

A force that acts on you when you go in a circular path like the marble loop the loop thing

Centripetal Force is a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving. An example of centripetal force is when a marble goes down a path and loops and it doesn't fall off.

LIke the Duck flying around Mr. Ruby's hand the other day.

It is a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the object is moving. Like in Nascar the drivers are going around in a circle.

A force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving. A roller coaster like the "Wild Mouse" at Funtown takes really sharp turns and makes it fun because you sometimes feel like you are going to fall off

Force pulling toward center: a force that pulls a rotating or spinning object toward a center or axis.

Centripetal force is when an object has too much momentum to be pulled down by gravity. For example, a roller-coaster might go 100 mph and then the roller-coaster does a loopty-loop

An example of centripetal force is when a rollercoaster does a loopy-loop part, the gravity pushes it like the marble on the metal "track".

Centripetal force is a force that makes the body follow a curved path, an example of centripetal force is a roller coaster that goes in a loop.

Oh sorry. I didnt mean to have it like that, My bad.

Centripetal force is a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving. An example of centripetal force is a car turning.

My example is Hola Hooping.

Centripetal force is a force that makes a body follow a curved path: its direction is always orthogonal to the velocity of the body, toward the fixed point of the instantaneous center of curvature of the path. Wikipedia

a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving. I think it would be a roller coaster with a loop thingy.

Centripetal force is when an object has too much momentum to be pulled down by gravity.

A force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving. Examples of a centripental force are twisty roller coasters.

Centripetal force is when something is moving in a circle and the force is in the center, the more stronger this force the faster the object is moving!!!:D

Centripetal force is when something is moving in a circle. The force in in the middle. The more strength the force has the faster is moves.

Centripetal force is when something is moving in a circle and the force is in the center, the more stronger this force the faster the object is moving. The zero gravity at the fair is that.

It is a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the object is moving.when a car takes a sharp turn

There is an amusement ride that makes it zero grivity in it.

centripetal force is a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving. An example of it is putting water in a bucket and spinning around.

A ferris wheel goes round and round again with the middle staying in one spot.

Kanani L. said...

A central force is a force that points from the particle directly towards (or directly away from) a fixed point in space, the center, and whose magnitude only depends on the distance of the object to the center.

An example is if you have a lanyard and u spin it around in the circle or a yo-yo trick that is called a round the world.

"A central force is a force that points from the particle directly towards (or directly away from) a fixed point in space, the center, and whose magnitude only depends on the distance of the object to the center."
Example: If your on a roller coaster that is an example.

Centripetal force is a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving. An example would be when you're in an airplane and you go upsidedown, (Like the Blue Angels).
