What you are feeling is the inward centripetal force that is keeping you from going off on a tangent. Imagine riding in a car taking a banked turn. If you're watching from the outside, you can ...

In this case, the tension would be the centripetal force. Another example - a car moving in a circular path. In this case there is a centripetal force, it would be the frictional force between the ...

To turn, a force needs to push the car sideways. That force is centripetal force. Imagine a ball attached to a string. When I twirl the ball in a horizontal circle, the tension in the string ...

the centripetal force. And the body, in this case, is the car. When a car takes a corner, the friction force between the tire and road creates a force pulling you around the corner or toward the ...

The force that makes a car turn is called the centripetal force. Even if you’re not familiar with the word, you already know all about centripetal force. You experience it every time you use a ...

The curved track pushes on the car's tires (providing a centripetal force), however, forcing it to move in a loop instead of going straight. If the car is moving fast enough, it will speed through ...

If you let go of the string, the can will fly off in a straight line. Centripetal force is what keeps a moving car in a curved path as it rounds a corner. Without centripetal force, the car would ...

In this case, the tension would be the centripetal force. Another example - a car moving in a circular path. In this case there is a centripetal force, it would be the frictional force between the ...
