Q

How do we calculate centripetal force without the equation

A

We calculate it by taking the vector sum of all forces pointed toward and away from the center of circular motion

Vector sum of all radial forces

Q

How do you calculate centripetal acceleration with radial forces

A

Once you take the vector sum of all forces pointed radially towards or away from the center, divide the vector sum by the mass of the object
