reddevil2576 said:lol I'm out of high school. i didn't take any physics classes. I've started college for biochemistry but i had some financial problems so I'm waiting until i get this state job i applied for to go back. What does the d stand for?
reddevil2576 said:k i don't know if this formula is going to work for me then. I've been told that with physics its impossible to do what I'm trying to do but i don't see why its not possible and my ideas have been deleted off of here so i try not to talk about them on here. but I've seen videos on youtube of people successfully changing centrifugal force to linear ok i got a simpler version of my idea. if you have a metal ring let's say spinning at 1/4 of light speed and you have a "brake" so to say to act against it but not enough to stop it just to apply a force in a certain direction and on the opposite side of the ring you have something equally as powerful on the otherside acting to keep it going in the same dirrection as its already spinning. but if you put this picture in your head the left one acting against it will create an upwards force and the right one trying to keep it spinning acting against the other brake will have an upwards force as well but I'm imagining no where as near. I've talked to john Hutchinson he thinks my idea will work but he's the only other person that does.
The amount of centrifugal force exerted by a spinning object depends on its mass, speed, and distance from the center of rotation. The formula for calculating centrifugal force is Fc = m * v^2 / r, where Fc is the centrifugal force, m is the mass of the object, v is its linear velocity, and r is the distance from the center of rotation. The larger the mass and velocity of the object, or the smaller the distance from the center of rotation, the greater the centrifugal force.
Centrifugal force is the outward force felt by an object moving in a circular path, while centripetal force is the inward force that keeps the object moving in that path. Centripetal force is necessary to counteract centrifugal force and maintain the circular motion. Centripetal force is typically provided by tension, gravity, or another force acting towards the center of rotation.
Centrifugal force can be observed in many common situations, such as when a car turns a corner and passengers feel pulled towards the outside of the turn, or when wet clothes in a washing machine stick to the sides as they spin. Other examples include a spinning top, a merry-go-round, or a planet orbiting around a star.
Yes, centrifugal force can be greater than gravity in certain situations. For example, astronauts in orbit around Earth experience weightlessness because the centrifugal force of their orbit cancels out the force of gravity. However, on Earth's surface, gravity is always the dominant force and prevents objects from being thrown off into space due to centrifugal force.
Centrifugal force plays a role in shaping the appearance of planets and other celestial bodies. For instance, the Earth is not a perfect sphere, but rather slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator due to the centrifugal force of its rotation. Similarly, gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn have a more oblong shape because of their rapid rotation.
