Centripetal force. The centripetal force is the radial component of the net force acting on a body when the problem is analyzed in an inertial system. The force is inward toward the instantaneous center of curvature of the path of the body.
CENTRIPETAL FORCE
Centripetal force is a force that acts upon a body moving in a curved path. This force is directed towards the center of the curvature of the path. It is equal to, but opposite the centrifugal force.

centripetal force (From Stargazers to Starships Glossary - GSFC) The force in a rotating system directed toward the axis of rotation. CEP (abbr) (NASA SP-7, 1965) = circle of equal probability.

THE EXISTENCE OF CENTRIPETAL FORCE: Centripetal force is the force that causes a mass to travel in an arc or circular orbit. It is equal to the object's mass times its tangential velocity squared divided by the radius of the arc or circular path.
They are floating because they are in "free fall": the force of gravity and their linear velocity is creating an inward centripetal force which is stopping them from flying out into space.
As the years progressed, Newton completed his work on universal gravitation, diffraction of light, centrifugal force, centripetal force, inverse-square law, bodies in motion and the variations in tides due to gravity.

The 610 kg SOHO spacecraft is in a halo orbit around the Sun-Earth L1 point, the point between the Earth and the Sun where the balance of the (larger) Sun's gravity and the (smaller) Earth's gravity is equal to the centripetal force needed for an ...
(The centrifugal force is "fictitious" in the sense that the real force caused by rotation is the centripetal force; however, it is a convenient fiction for the sake of calculations.) By itself, ...
L1 libration point The point about one one-hundredth of the way from the Earth to the Sun, where the gravitational pull of the Earth and Sun and centripetal force balance in such a way as to give an orbit of exactly one Earth year.
The forces acting on each star are balanced, that is the gravitational force equals the centripetal force so; ...
The Lagrange points mark positions where the combined gravitational pull of the two large masses provides precisely the centripetal force required to rotate with them.

Thus, the fact that no rotational periods shorter than about 2.5 hours have been observed implies that the material of which asteroids are made is not strong enough to withstand the centripetal forces that such rapid spins would produce.
Thus, the fact that no rotation periods shorter than about 2 hours have been observed for asteroids greater than about 150 metres in diameter implies that their material strengths are not high enough to withstand the centripetal forces that such ...
