Centripetal Force Calculator
Calculate the centripetal force needed to keep an object moving in a circle from its mass, speed and radius using F = mv²/r.
Formula: F = m × v² / r
About Centripetal Force Calculator
Centripetal Force Calculator is a free online calculator that gives you an instant, accurate result as you type. Calculate the centripetal force needed to keep an object moving in a circle from its mass, speed and radius using F = mv²/r.
The calculation uses the standard formula F = m × v² / r and updates live with every change to the inputs. Everything runs client-side in your browser — fast, private, and free to use as often as you like.
Centripetal force always points toward the center of the circle; for a car on a curve it is supplied by friction between the tires and road.
