A) centripetal force
B) centrifugal force
C) gravitational force
D) none of these
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
A body performing circular motion is acted upon by a force which is always directed towards the centre of the circle. The force is called centripetal force. In the absence of this force the circular motion is not possible. If m is the mass of the body and v is velocity and r is radius then magnitude of centripetal force is \[F=\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{r}\]You need to login to perform this action.
