The mathematical expression for centripetal force is ______(a) mv^2/r(b) mv/r(c) v^2/r(d) mv^3/rThe question was posed to me in an internship interview.Origin of the question is Uniform Circular Motion topic in portion Motion in a Plane of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

Right OPTION is (a) mv^2/r

The best I can EXPLAIN: The centripetal force is directly proportional to the square of the tangential VELOCITY and INVERSELY to the radius of circle. Hence, on calculating, we get the expression as mv^2/r.
