Create centripetal_force.py (TheAlgorithms#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 object’s displacement. Using Newton’s 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.
