Which of these would you expect to produce the most centrifugal force A spinning arms slowly B spinning forearms arms slowly with biceps tightly at sides C swinging arms fast in circles with arms out?
swinging your arms around in circles very quickly
Is centrifugal force a scalar or vector?
All forces are vector quantities. Consequently, if "centrifugal force" actually existed, it would be a vector quantity.
Centrifugal force is the force that?
Centrifugal force is the outward force of a rotating object. The opposite force is the centripetal force which maintains the object in it's rotational position. In the case of an orbiting satellite it's rotational speed (revolutions per time period) creates the centrifugal force required to overcome the gravitational pull (centripetal force) of the body it is orbiting. ================================== The first answer is a neat, tidy, well-written summary of perhaps the most popular misconception in all of elementary Physics. Centrifugal force is a concept made up to account for the sensation of force that we perceive when we move in a curve. There need not be any outward force on a rotating object, and in general there is none. Centripetal force is real. It's the force required to bend the path of a moving abject away from a straight line. There is no outward force on an orbiting satellite. No force is required, and none exists, to 'overcome' the centripetal gravitational pull. In fact, if there were a force that overcame the gravitational centripetal force, then the forces on the satellite would sum to zero and it would travel in a straight line.
When would you expect a tie in a tug of war?
when net force is zero
What would you expect to accelerate most?
A small mass with a lot of force applied.

What would happen if there was not centrifugal force?
Then the moon would fall on us and we would start eating spaghetti.
What are the effects of centrifugal force on Earth?
The earth takes the shape of an oblate ellipsoid due to centrifugal forces perpendicular to the axis of rotation. there is zero centrifugal force at the poles and the force increases to a maximum at the equator. Other relatively minor variations in the shape of the earth are due to variations in the density of the crust and geomorphological processes. The centrifugal force acts to reduce the weight of the water in the equatorial hole, and the water would rise there to greater height. Newton then argued that water anywhere would rise to the same level
If you spun a bucket of beads above your head nothing would fall out is that Gravity or Friction?
Centrifugal force

What is the centrifugal force on a turbine blade if a London bus is hanging from the blade?
A ball park figure for the weight of a double decker bus might be about 15,000 kilograms. But to calculate the centrifugal force on a turbine blade with this hanging from it would require the blade length and the rotational speed of the turbine.
Can Magnets be used to cause centrifugal force?
Yes a central magnet rotating with an array of magnetic material surrounding it spun at the relative speed so as not to defeat the magnetic field would create a centrifugal arrangement if that is the query.
When would you expect a tie in a tug of war?
when net force is zero
Which fermentation tubes would you expect to produce the greatest gas volume?
which tubes?
