What happens to an object that is moving in a circle if the centripetal force is removed?
The centripetal force is what draws the object towards the centre. The centrifugal force is what draws the object away from the centre. Generally when one speaks of centrifugal force, one means only that it takes the centripetal force to keep moving the object out of its straight direction of travel. If you remove the centripetal force in such an example, such as when the object is in a circular orbit around another body, then the result will be that the orbiting body will continue traveling in a straight line at a tangent to the circular path it had been following.
When the forward inertia of a projectile balances the downward pull of gravity the object is?
Your question isn't exactly stated correctly, but the result that I believe you are looking for is that, the object will be in Orbit around the Earth. This happens when the Centrifugal Force (outward from the rotation) balances out against the Pull of Gravity (Inward). For a body rotating about the Earth, the inward Force would be the Force of Gravity, which would account for the Centripetal Force. Gravity is 'taking the place of' the piece of string that holds an object in place when it is swung around in a circle.
Explain what keeps the moon orbiting Earth?
Because the moon moves with a certain speed in its orbit, that orbital motion produces a centrifugal force which opposes the attraction of gravity. The balance between gravity and centrifugal force keeps the moon in orbit. The moon continues to orbit at the speed it does, because of its inertia. Moving in the vacuum of space, the moon does not encounter resistance to its motion. There is, however, some energy lost as a result of tidal forces, and that will, over a very long period of time, eventually alter the moon's orbit.
What happens if you dont do a backwash in a pool?
The filter media will eventually become "clogged" and result in reduced flow rate and increased backpressure. the lower flow rate is a hazard to the heater system and the increased pressure will eventually shorten the life of your pump. not to mention the water will become cloudy and unsafe
How does a characteristic that contributes to few or no offspring not become more common as a result of evolution by natural selection?
The question answers itself: the characteristic is passed onto few or no offspring, and therefore will not spread throughout the population.
What is the difference between centrifugal force and centripetal force, and how do they relate to each other in the context of physics?
Centrifugal force is the outward force experienced by an object moving in a circular path, while centripetal force is the inward force that keeps the object moving in that path. In physics, these forces are equal in magnitude but act in opposite directions, with centripetal force being responsible for maintaining the object's circular motion and centrifugal force being a result of inertia.
What happens to an object that is moving in a circle if the centripetal force is removed?
The centripetal force is what draws the object towards the centre. The centrifugal force is what draws the object away from the centre. Generally when one speaks of centrifugal force, one means only that it takes the centripetal force to keep moving the object out of its straight direction of travel. If you remove the centripetal force in such an example, such as when the object is in a circular orbit around another body, then the result will be that the orbiting body will continue traveling in a straight line at a tangent to the circular path it had been following.
Centrifugal force is a force that acts perpendicular to the direction of motion of an object and keeps the object moving in a circle?
No, centrifugal force is the force that causes objects in rotation to move away form the center of rotation. The force that keeps objects moving in circular motion is called "centripetal force".
The redshift of light from distant galaxy provides evidence that the universe is?
The red shifts show the galaxies are under centripetal force and the red shift indicates the centrifugal force. This indicates that the universe is in continuity, the centripetal and centrifugal forces are in balance.
The force that causes moving objects in a circle to be pushed outward?
The force that causes moving objects in a circle to be pushed outward is called centrifugal force. It is a fictitious force experienced by objects in circular motion that appears to push them away from the center of the circle. This force is a result of inertia and acts in the opposite direction to the centripetal force keeping the object moving in a circular path.
Is there any scientific reason that why centripetal force is always directed towards the center of the circle?
This is a slightly odd question because to a certain extent it is self-answering. There are two distinct forces used in this way - centrifugal and centripetal. The centrifugal forces are those which are directed away from the centre and the centripetal are those directed towards the centre. The words themselves take their roots from Greek and Latin, with centrifugal meaning "fleeing from the centre" (Greek kentron + Latin fugere, to flee) and centripetal meaning "seeking the centre" (Greek kentroncentre + Latin petere to seek). Thus the term used is simply a way of describing the direction in which the force acts. The 'science part' is why a particular force, in a particular situation, acts in one way or the other - and that depends on the physical circumstance described.
Why is centrifugal force called a pseudo force?
This is because it is not a force. It is a reflection of newtons 1st law, any object will continue along it path in a straight line unless another force acts on it. So when an object is constrained to rotate around a point, a circular path, it at all times will try to 'fly off' on along a tangent (a straight line from where it is now). This is what is called centrifugal forces. The only real force that acts is centripetal force, which is the force required to keep the object on circular path. This force acts directly towards the centre of the circle about which the object rotates. That is to say to keep the body in the place , where it is, and to balance the centripetal force, centrifugal force comes into play. it has no cause of existence without centripetal force,hence it is called pseudo force. Alternate answer: Centrifugal force is not a pseudo force. It is called a pseudo force because some neglect the vector derivative. Centrifugal force comes from the vector derivative of the vector energy Ev= mcV. The centrifugal force is f = - mcDel.V. The minus sign indicates motion away from the center, center fleeing , centrifugal.
What is the difference of centripetal force and centrifugal force?
Centripetal force is directed toward the center of rotation of an orbiting body or object following a curved path. Centrifugal force is the apparent force, equal and opposite to the centripetal force, drawing a rotating body away from the center of rotation, caused by the inertia of the body. Whenever you see a moving object that's not traveling in a straight line, you know that a force is acting upon it. That's because objects tend to resist changes to their velocities. The greater the mass, the greater the resistance to changes in velocity. That's called inertia. Objects at rest tend to stay at rest, and objects in motion tend to stay in motion, unless acted upon by some external force. (See Newton's First Law.) Since velocity is a vector -- remember vectors have magnitude AND direction -- any change in an object's direction constitutes a changes in its velocity. When an object is flying around in a circle, its velocity is constantly changing because its direction is constantly changing! That means a force is working on it. That force is the centripetal force, and since force is equal to mass times acceleration, there must be an acceleration involved. You guessed it -- centripetal acceleration. In short: Centrifugal force is away from the center and centripetal force is towards the center. In even shorter: Centripetal force is real. Centrifugal force doesn't exist.
What is the acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path is called what acceleration?
That's called 'centripetal acceleration'. It's the result of the centripetal forceacting on the object on the curved path.
What is meant by centrifugal force?
A fictitious force caused by rotation - it feels as if a force pushes you towards the outside. The magnitude of the ficticious acceleration is equal to the real centripetal acceleration: a = v2/r. The corresponding force can be obtained from Newton's Second Law.
What two forces that affect an object in circular motion?
The two forces that affect an object in circular motion are centripetal force, which acts towards the center of the circular path and keeps the object moving in a curved path, and centrifugal force, which is a fictitious force that appears to act outwards on the object but is actually a result of inertia trying to keep the object moving in a straight line.
The consequence of spinning on axis?
As a result of the spinning, somebody on the spinning object will perceive centrifugal forces. These forces are fictitious, or apparent, in that to an outside observer, they are the result of inertia.
