prove centripetal force = m(v^2/r)
\[\huge{m\frac{v^2}{r}}\]
@UnkleRhaukus
@waterineyes
@Vaidehi09
where is our starting point?
i think we can start with v = rw?
did u mean w--> omega ?
yes
K ! so f = ma a = v-u/t = rw-u/t
If an object is undergoing uniform circular motion then \[R= r \cos \omega t \ i+ r \sin \omega t \ j\\ V=\frac{dR}{dt} = -r \omega \sin \omega t \ i+ r \omega \cos \omega t \ j \\ a=\frac{dV}{dt}= -r \omega^2 \cos \omega t \ i- r \omega^2 \sin \omega t \ j\\ \left| a \right|=r \omega^2\]
then F=mrw^2 v=rw w=v/r -----> F=m v^2/r
sorry, i lost my net there for a while. and @mathslover, don't proceed that way. @mukushla 's derivation is the right way.
ok thanks a lot @mukushla and @Vaidehi09
if u want @mathslover may i also contribute some
When an object is in circular motion, it need centripetal force. A red ball is attached to a green cord (neglect its mass) passing through a small hole in a friction less, horizontal table. The red ball is initially orbiting in a circle of radius r with velocity v. A black ball is tied to the other end of the green cord. If it is in equilibrium, the gravitational force of the black ball Fg = Mg , provides the centripetal force Fc needed. \[Fc = m v^2/r = m w^2 r ( v=w*r )\] \[Fg = Fc \] then i.e. \[ Mg = m w^2 r \]
thanks a lot to u too
Centripetal Acceleration, ac = v2/r ac = centripetal acceleration (m/s2) Centripetal Force According Newton's second law the centripetal force can be expressed as Fc = m ac = m v2/r (2) where Fc = centripetal force (N) m = mass (kg).
\[F=mac\] where ac is centripetal acceleration therefor \[ac=v ^{2}/r\] \[F=mv^2/r\]
thanks a lot @muhammad9t5and @rishabh.mission

@mathslover friend then click on best answer to give me medal if you like. Thanks.
I am also confused to give medal to whom !!!.. sorry
