The common name for a "center-seeking" force.
What is centripetal force?
The SI unit for work
What is a joule?
The condition required for a system to be categorized as kinematic.
What is constant acceleration?
The force caused by surface contact that always acts in a direction perpendicular to the surface itself.
What is the normal force?
The mathematical relationship between centripetal acceleration and tangential velocity.
What is quadratic?
