CENTRIPETAL FORCECentripetal 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 -- The force making a motion is a circle possible, always directed to the center of the circle.

Force of Gravity = Centripetal Force(G x MSun x Mplanet) / (r x r) = (Mplanet x V x V) / r ...

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.

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.

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.

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, ...

The Lagrange points are a set of five points that occur between two large objects, the gravitational force of the large objects is exactly equal to the centripetal force required to rotate with the objects (mathematically, ...

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.

We find them (small cyan arrows) when the average gravitation force on the centre of the Earth is substracted (because this force will be used as the centripetal force for the Earth in its orbit around the Sun).
| |
This happens because at those five points, the gravitational force of the large objects is exactly equal to the centripetal force required to rotate with the objects. Three of the points are unstable (L1, L2, and L3) and two are stable(L4 and L5).

A gas centrifuge is a separating machine specifically developed to separate Uranium-235 from Uranium-238. The gas centrifuge relies on the principles of centripetal force accelerating molecules based upon mass.... .

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 ...
