We consider wastewater treatment as a water use because it is so interconnected with the other uses of water.
Definition of Centripetal Force. Centripetal force is a force that makes an object follow a curved path. The direction of the force is oriented at a right angle to the direction of travel of the object, toward the center of the circle along which the object is moving.
The force that pulls an object out of a straight-line path and into a. circular path is called a centripetal force. The magnitude of the centripetal force required to keep an object in a circular path depends. on the inertia (or mass) and the acceleration of the object, as you know from the second law. (F = ma). The acceleration of an object moving in uniform circular motion is a = v2/r, so the. magnitude of the centripetal force of an object with a mass (m) that is moving with a velocity (v) in a. circular orbit of radius (r) can be found from. The distance (circumference) around a circle is 2Ïr.
