CENTRIPETAL FORCE

We know that there is an acceleration in uniform circular motion and acceleration always occurs due to some force. This force is called centripetal force.

                                                         F= mv2/r   or   F= mrw2

1.) Direction of centripetal force is always towards the centre.
2.) Uniform circular motion cannot occur without centripetal force.
