Question

Which of the following is not a correct equation for centripetal force?

A. Fc=mac
B. F=m v2/t
C. F=m v/r

Answer 1

F = m v2 /t   so your answer is B

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When a body is moving in a circular path then a force acts on it and this force is directed towards the center around the moving object.

Mathematically, F =
`m(v^(2))/(r)`

where F = force

m = mass

v = velocity

r = radius

The term
`(v^(2))/(r)` is the centripetal acceleration.

Also, expression for centripetal force can be
`F_(c) = ma_(c)`, where
`a_(c)` represents acceleration of centripetal force.

Whereas both the expressions F =
`m(v^(2))/(t)` and F =
`m(v)/(r)` are not a correct equation for centripetal force.
