Why did my physics teacher make me write centrifugal force is a figment of my imagination and centripetal force is real?
Because there is no centrifugal force. The force of circular motion is inward, thus centripetal. If you are on a car that makes a quick right turn, you feel a "centrifugal" force leftward. But in reality, it is the car making an acceleration to the center of the curve, which is to your right. What you feel is inertia, not a force.
What is the force that makes things fall to the ground called?
That is the force of gravity.
What force makes electrons move?
An Electro Motive Force "EMF".
What force makes people float?
gravity
Which force makes a thrown ball fall back to the ground?
Gravity is the force which makes a thrown ball fall back to the ground. It is the force which attracts all objects to the Earth.
What makes a bicycle go fast?
the amount of force spinning the pedals
What makes a curve so strong?
A curve is so strong because when you apply a force on top of the curve the weight of that forced is transferred to the bottom parts of the curve which makes it really strong like bridges that use arcs
What makes global winds curve?
Coriolis force causes global winds to curve. As winds move north or south, they are deflected due to the rotation of the Earth. They curve to the west.
What makes ormal curve asymmetrical?
There is no such thing as an "ormal curve". And a Normal curve IS symmetrical!
Why doesn't water fall out of a bucket when it is swung quickly?
Water doesn't come out of the bucket while spinning it rapidly because of contrifugal force, it makes things move away from the center. Try spinning around for 7 secs and move your hands, it will feel hard to move down cause of contrifugal force.
What is the explanation of centrifugal force in a washing machine?
Centrifugal force in a washing machine occurs during the spin cycle. The spinning motion of the washer makes the clothes cling to the side of the washer drum, while the water is being sucked out by centrifugal force.
What is magnus force?
The magnus effect is what makes curve balls curve. It works by making one side of a thrown, spinning object brush past the air faster than the other side. The side of the ball where the spin is in the same direction as the direction of flight has a higher speed, relative to the air, than the other side of the ball, which is spinning backwards to the direction of flight and hence is moving slower relative to the air. The pressure on the baseball is lower on the advancing spin side and higher on the receding spin side, and this creates a difference of air pressure that pushes the ball sideways to the direction of flight toward the advancing spin side.
Why does a raw egg continue spinning after stopped?
The inertia of the egg makes it continue to spin after the intended spinning of it.
If cricket balls are symmetrical why do they often curve when flying through the air?
they curve because they have a heavy filling inisde that makes it curve
What makes global winds curve rather than move in straight lines?
That's the result of the spinning of the Earth. If the Earth didn't spin, then air would head directly into the center of low pressure, and directly out of the center of high pressure.
What makes tennis more aerodynamic?
spinning ball
