Centripetal Force Calculator

Formula and Units

Centripetal force keeps an object moving in a circular path.

Formula: F = m x v^2 / r. Mass converts to kg, velocity to m/s, and radius to meters.

Understanding Centripetal Force

1. What This Calculator Measures

Centripetal force is the inward force needed to keep an object moving in a circle.

2. How the Calculation Works

The calculator converts mass, velocity, radius, and force into SI units and rearranges the circular-motion equation for the selected unknown.

3. Formula or Rule Used

F = m x v^2 / r.
