Key Equations:

Centripetal force:
$F_c=m{a}_c=\frac{m{v}^2}{r}$

Definition

The centripetal force is not a new force and describes how objects rotate in a circle. The centripetal force is a center-seeking force that forces the object to rotate in a circle. This force is only valid in inertial frame of references. Mathematically, this is described using centripetal acceleration and Newton's second law
