Question
the closer to the center, the lesser the force. choose the correct answer. where does the ball feel the least amount of centripetal force? farthest from the center closest to the center it does not matter where the ball is, the same force is applied.
The centripetal - force formula is $F = \frac{mv^{2}}{r}$. Assuming mass $m$ and velocity $v$ are constant, as the radius $r$ increases, the centripetal force $F$ decreases. So the ball feels the least centripetal force farthest from the center.
