Concept explainers

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.

Question

The centripetal force acting on a mass in a circular motion is given by F = m*r*w2. What does w stand for?
O frequency of rotation
O tangential velocity
O period of rotation
angular velocity
