Difference between Centripetal force and Circular motion

Centripetal force vs. Circular motion

A centripetal force (from Latin centrum, "center" and petere, "to seek") is a force that makes a body follow a curved path. In physics, circular motion is a movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation along a circular path.

Similarities between Centripetal force and Circular motion

Centripetal force and Circular motion have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acceleration, Angular velocity, Centrifugal force, Cross product, Euclidean vector, Fictitious force, Inertia, Magnetic field, Momentum, Orbit, Polar coordinate system, Reactive centrifugal force, Right-hand rule, Unit vector, Velocity.

Acceleration

In physics, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Angular velocity

In physics, the angular velocity of a particle is the rate at which it rotates around a chosen center point: that is, the time rate of change of its angular displacement relative to the origin.

Centrifugal force

In Newtonian mechanics, the centrifugal force is an inertial force (also called a "fictitious" or "pseudo" force) directed away from the axis of rotation that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference.

Cross product

In mathematics and vector algebra, the cross product or vector product (occasionally directed area product to emphasize the geometric significance) is a binary operation on two vectors in three-dimensional space \left(\mathbb^3\right) and is denoted by the symbol \times.

Euclidean vector

In mathematics, physics, and engineering, a Euclidean vector (sometimes called a geometric or spatial vector, or—as here—simply a vector) is a geometric object that has magnitude (or length) and direction.

Fictitious force

A fictitious force (also called a pseudo force, d'Alembert force, or inertial force) is an apparent force that acts on all masses whose motion is described using a non-inertial frame of reference, such as a rotating reference frame.

Momentum

In Newtonian mechanics, linear momentum, translational momentum, or simply momentum (pl. momenta) is the product of the mass and velocity of an object.

Orbit

In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved trajectory of an object, such as the trajectory of a planet around a star or a natural satellite around a planet.

Polar coordinate system

In mathematics, the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction.

Reactive centrifugal force

In classical mechanics, a reactive centrifugal force forms part of an action–reaction pair with a centripetal force.

Right-hand rule

In mathematics and physics, the right-hand rule is a common mnemonic for understanding orientation conventions for the vector cross product in three dimensions.

In mathematics, a unit vector in a normed vector space is a vector (often a spatial vector) of length 1.
