Its original definition is in Issac Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica. Some consider it more of an adjective for a force such as gravity or electricity than a force itself. However, an object experiencing this force travels at a constant speed and its two components are tangential and perpendicular. The magnitude of this force can alternately be expressed as the velocity squared divided by the radius.  FTP, name this force that makes a body trace a circular path.          |
