Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Problem An explorer in Antarctica leaves his shelter during a whiteout. He takes 50 m northeast, next 180 m at 72° north of west, and then 150 m due south. Save the explorer from becoming hopelessly lost by giving him the displacement, calculated by using the method of components, that will return him to his shelter. Solution By vector-component approach, we list down the given in a table as follows: Given X-component (w/ sign direction) y-component (w/ sign direction) A = 50 m NE m m B = 180 m 72° NW m m C = 150 m s m m Resultant m m Thus, the magnitude of the resultant vector is R= m With a direction of o = ONW Therefore, the vector needed for him to successfully get back home is Rhome = O SE m
