I am a high school student with a general interest in physics of all types.
We have learned that circular motion is possible because of the centripetal force acting towards the centre. I gather that the centripetal force is the resultant of the gravitational and outward forces. The object moving around the circle is accelerating because the direction of the object changes at tangents to the circles.
I would like to know about the mathematics which proves this. Can someone introduce some equations and explain them to me?
Where is the math which governs the net centripetal force?
Can we calculate the angular momentum?
Regards,
Adam
