Centripetal And Centrifugal Force
Hi Guys, today I am going to tell you about :-
CENTRIPETAL AND CENTRIFUGAL FORCE
Centripetal force and centrifugal force are forces that act on a object moving in a circular path. As you can see in the below image that the direction of the stone is constantly changing. You might know that for changing the direction of a moving object a force is required, this force is called the centripetal force.
And in the below image you can see that the centrifugal force acts outwards of the circlar path. You might have experienced this force in the merry-go-round, you will feel that someone is pushing you out of the merry-go-round, which is called the centrifugal force.
In the below case, if the centrifugal force increases then the thread will break and the stone will travel in a straight path.
You might have noticed that as you increase the speed of the round, the more centrfugal force is produced, and if you didn't hold in tight then you will fall from it, because the centrifical force will get decreased than centrifugal force leading to a painful fall.
And if centrifugal force gets zero, then the stone will stop rotating.
There are many examples of these forces like a car turning with a high speed, the string and the stone and the merry-go-round etc.
Hence, we can say that as the speed increase, the centrifugal force also increases.
