Centripetalmoin

Any force that keeps a
body moving with uniform speed along a

circular path is called a centripetal force .




Acentripetal force is not an additional force it ,
comes from the
forces already acting on the object that is in circular motion


the centripetal force always acts perpendicular to the
velocity of
the object Therefore
.


,
the centripetal force has no
component in the
object and its
direction of motion , so no work is done on the speed
remains constant
