Centripetal Force Calculator | iCalculator™

The Centripetal Force Calculator will calculate:

  1. Centripetal force in a rotational motion
  2. Total acceleration in a non-uniform rotational motion
Centripetal Force Calculator
Centripetal Force Calculator Results (detailed calculations and formula below)
The centripetal force in a rotational motion = N
The total acceleration in a non-uniform rotational motion = m/s2
Centripetal force in a rotational motion Calculation
FC = m × v2/r
FC = × 2/
FC = × /
FC = /
FC =
Total acceleration in a non-uniform rotational motion Calculation
a = √v2/r2 + v - v0/t2
a = √2/r2 + - /2
a = √/2 + /2
a = √2 + 2
a = √ +
a = √
a =
Centripetal Force Calculator Input Values
Mass of object (m) m
Radius of curvature (r) m
Velocity of object at a given instant (v) m/s
Initial velocity of the object (v0) m/s
Time of rotation (t) s

Please note that the formula for each calculation along with detailed calculations are available below. As you enter the specific factors of each centripetal force calculation, the Centripetal Force Calculator will automatically calculate the results and update the Physics formula elements with each element of the centripetal force calculation. You can then email or print this centripetal force calculation as required for later use.
