Create centripetal_force.py (#7778)
* Create centripetal_force.py

Centripetal force is the force acting on an object in curvilinear motion directed towards the axis of rotation or centre of curvature.

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* Update centripetal_force.py

The value error should also handle negative values of the radius and using more descriptive names will be more beneficial for the users

* Update centripetal_force.py

Made some bug fixes

Description : Centripetal force is the force acting on an object in
curvilinear motion directed towards the axis of rotation
or centre of curvature.
The unit of centripetal force is newton.
The centripetal force is always directed perpendicular to the
direction of the objects displacement. Using Newtons second
law of motion, it is found that the centripetal force of an object
moving in a circular path always acts towards the centre of the circle.
The Centripetal Force Formula is given as the product of mass (in kg)
and tangential velocity (in meters per second) squared, divided by the
radius (in meters) that implies that on doubling the tangential velocity,
the centripetal force will be quadrupled. Mathematically it is written as:
F = mv²/r
Where, F is the Centripetal force, m is the mass of the object, v is the
speed or velocity of the object and r is the radius.
