About this calculator
This calculator finds centripetal force using F = mv²/r (or F = mω²r), the force that keeps an object moving in a circle instead of flying off in a straight line. It also reports the centripetal acceleration, a = v²/r.
Physics students use it for textbook problems on circular motion, while engineers apply the same formula when designing roller coaster loops, banked highway curves, centrifuges, and satellite orbits — anywhere something has to be constantly pulled toward a center to keep turning.
