whats the different - centripital & centrifugal force.?

Question

I would like to know atleast 3 differences between Centripital & Centrifugal force.

Answer 1

centripital force- force towards the body and centrifugal force- force going out the body

Answer 2

when an objec travels in a circular motion centriptal force is the force toward the center of the circle. there is a combination of two forces the centriptal and the tangental force. the tangental force is in a direction 90 degrees to the radius.

basicaly when you chart the motion of an object traveling in a circle you move one step perpindicular to the radius and an equal step toward the center.

the centripital force is what keeps the object in a loop instead of going in a straight line.

if you had an object on a string orbiting a central point and cut the string the object doesn't go out fron the center but in a direction 90 degrees from the radius at the instant that the string is cut.

centrifugal force is a "percieved force" it's what you feel as the oposite and equal force to the centriptal force.

when you take a left sharp turn in a car and feel pulled to the right that's called centrifugal force. if feels like you are being thrown outward from the center of the curve but actually what you feel is the tangental force that would carry you in a straight line perpindicular to the direction towards the center of the curve which would throw you out if you hit the brakes or if the door opened.

it feels like it's going out because the direction is constantly changing.

Answer 3

Centrifugal force is a virtual force. It is not really a force. There are some situations you can be in that have you accelerating without speeding up. One of these is a carnival ride that spins around in a circle at a constant speed. I know one where you feel pressed against the wall very tightly, and then the floor drops out. Most people would believe they were moving steadily, with there bodies being pressed tightly against the wall
(outward, in a cetrifugal direction). This is centripetal force. This is not really what happens.

When moving fast, a great deal of force is required to make you change direction. Your body "wants" to continue in a straight line. The curved wall gets in the way. The wall pushes in against your body. The "outward force" is just your body trying to move in a straight line. It is not a force at all. It is inertia, your body resisting the effects of the forces it feels.

Virtual forces exist when your body is accelerating. Objects moving in a
steady direction at a steady speed appear to accelerate, as you see them.
Place a ball on a car seat while moving at a steady speed. Have the driver slam on the brakes. Observe the ball appear to be pushed forward and off the seat. The ball just continued to move forward. It is the car that felt the backward force of the brakes. Hang a heavy ball from a spring in an elevator. As the elevator begins to rise, the ball begins to move, as if someone pushed down on it. It is the ball just "trying" to stay still as the elevator accelerates upward. While rising, you can stop the motion. It
will start again when the elevator stops. The faster the acceleration (the more you can "feel" it in your body), the stronger the virtual forces appear to be.


When the trajectory of an object travels on a closed path about a point --
either circular or elliptical -- it does so because there is a force pulling the object in the direction of that point. That force is defined as the CENTRIPETAL force. It has not been more simply, or directly stated than by one Isaac Newton in his famous "Principia" (definition 5):
"A centripetal force is that by which bodies are drawn or impelled, or any way tend, towards a point as to a center."

This force can be demonstrated by twirling a ball on a string, and either actually or conceptually cutting the string. The ball's trajectory is then a straight line tangential to the closed trajectory at the instant the string is cut. This is also illustrated by what happens to the ball in the "hammer throw" of track and field. The athlete spins the heavy ball around several times then lets it fly. It takes off in a straight line (not quite, because the hammer is actually not spun parallel to the ground, but that is not
relevant).

That is really all that is necessary. The term CENRTIFUGAL force appears to have come about because of a mistaken perception that there is a force that operates in the opposite direction as the CENTRIPETAL force. But that is a
misconception. The "pull" that is felt by the ball on a string or by the hammer thrower is the force that has to be applied toward the center, to keep the ball from flying off tangentially, not radially.

Unfortunately, the terms are often used interchangably, or incorrectly. Newton's term, which I think should take the prize is CENTRIPETAL.

Answer 4

centripetal force:
1.it is force towards the body which acts towards the center of circular motion.

2.Centrifugal force is a real force


3.it is the first force which comes first





centrifugal force:
1.it is force going out the body which acts against the Centripital force.


2. Centrifugal force is a virtual force


3.it fallows the centripetial

Answer 5

Centripetal force is a "center-seeking" force. It is required to keep a object continually diverted in its path so that it travels in a circle.
Centripetal acceleration occurs when the rate of motion stays the same,but the direction changes. An example of this is the revolution of the moon around the earth. The revolution of the planet around the sun also shows centripetal acceleration.




While Centrifugal force is the inertia, or tendency to move in one direction, which causes a body turning around a center to move away from the center. Centrifugal force is a "center-fleeing" force.
The centrifugal force experienced in a rotating system is proportional to mass. Therefore, rotating systems can create gravitational-like conditions. In space, for instance, peope could live comfortable with normal apparent weight on the inside of rotating structures. For them, "down" would be in the outward direction.

Answer 6

Any motion in a curved path represents accelerated motion, and requires a force directed toward the center of curvature of the path. This force is called the centripetal force which means "center seeking" force. The force has the magnitude

centripetal force is mathametical represented by
Centripetal force = mass x velocity2 / radius

An object traveling in a circle behaves as if it is experiencing an outward force. This force, known as the centrifugal force

centrifugal force is mathametical represented by
Fc = mv2/r,
where Fc = centrifugal force, m = mass, v = speed, and r = radius

A centripetal force is that by which bodies are drawn or impelled, or any
way tend, towards a point as to a center."

Centrifugal force is a virtual force. It is not really a force

Answer 7

Centrifugal force is completley relative (as according to Einstein's Theory of General Relativity).
Centripital force acts towards the center of circular motion.
Centrifugal force acts against the Centripital force.

Answer 8

The centripetal force is the external force required to make a body follow a curved path. The centrifugal force is a virtual force equal and opposite to the centripetal force, drawing a rotating body away from the center of rotation, caused by the inertia of the body.

Answer 9

Centripetal force is the cause of circular motion, centrifugal force is the effect.
Centripetal and centrifugal forces have opposite directions.
Centripetal force is the action, centrifugal force is the reaction.
Centripetal force is the force applied on a body to make its motion non linear or circular, and is towards the center of the circle. Centrifugal force is away from the center.

Answer 10

Centrifugal force reacts on a mass that is being spun around a centre point and that throw the mass out from the centre. Other forces (eg. drag) act on that mass causing it to fly off at a tangent. Centripital force works in the opposite direction causing the mass to work inwards towards the centre.
