Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

A friend throws a heavy ball toward you while you are standing on smooth ice. You can either catch the ball or deflect it back toward your friend. What should you do in order to maximize your speed right after your interaction with the ball? 1)You should let the ball go past you without touching it. 2)It does not matter. Your speed is the same regardless of what you do. 3)You should deflect the ball back toward your friend. 4)More information is required to determine how to maximize your speed. 5)You should catch the ball.
