1 Circular Force Centripetal force (Fc) force that maintains circular motion. Acts towards the axis of rotation. Inertia tends to maintain the tangential component of motion and the force directed toward the center of the circle counters the inertia and maintains the circular motion.

2 Circular Force Centripetal force (Fc) force that maintains circular motion acting towards the axis of rotation.

3 Circular Force When the centripetal force is removed, the object does not continue to move in a circle. The object will move in a straight line that is tangent to the point at which the force stopped

4 Circular Force Inertia can be misinterpreted as a force.
When a vehicle turns (inwards), the passenger resists the motion (outwards) and travels in a straight line due to inertia. Friction (Fs) is the force that usually keeps a passenger, or vehicle, from moving outwards.
