So that Centrifugal Force will imply a motion from the centre; Centripetal Force a motion whose effect is ever towards the centre of gravity of any body.
If there were no Centripetal Force, then the Centrifugal Force would hurl the planets and comets, asteroids or minor planets away into the depths of space, never to return to their central sun.
Centripetal Force, strictly, may be defined as that force which is always exerted towards the centre of the attracting body.
What Newton did, in short, was to prove by analysis that the planets, revolving by Kepler's astronomical laws round the sun, have motions such as by mechanical laws are consequences of a centripetal force to the sun.
Thus we are told that matter and motion are determined as inertia, impulsion, fall; that Absolute Mechanics determines itself as centripetal force, centrifugal force, universal gravitation.
When this point was reached, the vortex was merely a machinery, well or ill devised, for producing such a centripetal force, and therefore did not contradict the doctrine of a centripetal force.
Considering the motion as circular, a force along the radius, a radial or centripetal force, must be acting continually.
The moving mass pulls at the elastic--that is its centrifugal force; the hand at the centre pulls also--that is centripetal force.
Centripetal Force, that which impels a body towards a fixed central point.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "centripetal force" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
