Question on: SS2 Physics - Mechanics - Motion in a Plane
Which of the following factors does NOT affect the magnitude of the centripetal force in uniform circular motion?
Mass of the object.
Â
Â
Radius of the circular path.
Â
Velocity of the object.
Â
Direction of the object's motion.
Explanation: The magnitude of the centripetal force depends on the mass of the object, the radius of the circular path, and the velocity of the object. The direction of the object's motion does not directly affect the magnitude of the centripetal force, as long as the object is moving in a circular path.
