Centripetalmoin
Any force that keeps a
body moving with uniform speed along a
circular path is called a centripetal force .
Acentripetal force is not an additional force it ,
comes from the
forces already acting on the object that is in circular motion
the centripetal force always acts perpendicular to the
velocity of
the object Therefore
.
,
the centripetal force has no
component in the
object and its
direction of motion , so no work is done on the speed
remains constant
