Answer:
True.
Explanation:
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.
Mathematically, it is given by the formula;
Force = mass * acceleration
[tex] F = ma[/tex]
Centripetal acceleration is given by the formula;
[tex] Acceleration, a = \frac {v^{2}}{r}[/tex]
Where;
v is the velocity.
r is the radius.
The equation for centripetal force can be derived by substituting the equation for centripetal acceleration into Newton’s second law.
Let centripetal force be Fc
Fc = ma
Substituting the value of "a" into the above formula;
[tex] Fc = m \frac {v^{2}}{r} [/tex]
[tex] Fc = \frac {mv^{2}}{r} [/tex]
