"The centripetal force can be calculated using the fallowing formula."The centripetal force can be calculated using the fallowing formula.
"please notice that; "please notice that;
- The centripetal force has directed toward the orbit center.
- The velocity vector is perpendicular to the centripetal corce vector.
- The velocity vector is tangent to the orbit.
