Centrifugal (center fleeing) force is the force pulling away from the origin; centripetal (center seeking) force is the force pushing towards the origin. A moving object with no force acting on it...
Centripetal force is the inward directed force that causes an object to move in a circular path.
Centrifugal force is actually not a force; it is the apparent (and fictitious) "force" that one...
No. Centripetal force is a real force that pulls objects towards the center of the circular motion. Centrifugal force is a ficticious force that seems to pull an object towards the outside.
Velocity is continually changing direction if not speed. This means an orbiting object is accelerating and the direction of acceleration is toward the center. In fact, centripetal means "center...
