Using Newton's second -law of motion, it is found that the centripetal force of an object -moving in a circular path always acts towards the centre of the circle. -The Centripetal Force Formula is given as the product of mass (in kg) -and tangential velocity (in meters per second) squared, divided by the -radius (in meters) that implies that on doubling the tangential velocity, -the centripetal force will be quadrupled.
