So it's a P3 AQA ISA, and it's on centripetal force. Basically our teacher told us that it's about how the force affects the velocity of a moving object, but it's really confusing me in the way that we have to change something (in this case mass) to therefore change the force to affect the velocity so we need to actually work out the force and I don't understand how I would do that.... This sounds really mixed up but I don't really get the ISA at all. Could anyone clear things up a bit? Thanks

Centripetal Force = (mass x velocity^2)/ radius
Look at OCR A-level physics, Unit 4 Centripetal stuff is covered there
