Centripetal Force

In this section you will practice and apply what you have learned from the Centripetal Force simulations, creating a calculator to calculate the centripetal force given a velocity, radius, and mass and understanding the calculations being done.


If you are looking for a reference for Python consider looking at the Python Reference Sheet on the site.



Below are sample runs of some of the outputs you should get when running the program.


Centripetal Force


For user input v = 10, r = 5, and m = 30, the output should be:


For user input v = 5.5, r = 10, and m = 20, the output should be:


For user input v = 0, r = 3.3, and m = 15, the output should be:


For user input v = 15.7, r = 9, and m = 45, the output should be:


For user input v = 22.3, r = 15, and m = 36, the output should be:



Here is a code editor so that you can compute your calculator program.
