Student objectives

[admin]

Students will:
• Understand that a centripetal force is
required to keep a mass moving in a
circular path at constant speed.
• Understand that a centripetal
acceleration accompanies a centripetal
force, and that, at any instant, both
the acceleration and force are directed
toward the center of the circular path.
• Apply the equation Fc = mac = m(v2/r)
to calculations involving circular
motion.
• Understand that centrifugal force is
the reaction to centripetal force.

[Sushma Sharma]

To my understanding we are not suppose to talk about centrifugal force
