There is no force directed away from the center.

If there were no force at all on the object, it would continue to travel in a straight line.
The force directed inward, toward the center, is what bends its path around the center.

When you throw an object why it rotates about its own axis?

When an object is thrown, any slight differences in force or direction on different sides of the object cause it to rotate around its center of mass. This rotation is due to the conservation of angular momentum, as the object's initial spin will continue unless acted upon by an external force.


What force is spin and twist?

The force responsible for spin and twist in objects is called torque. Torque is a rotational force that causes an object to rotate around an axis. It is the equivalent of linear force in rotational motion.


When does the spin occur on an object when a force is applied anywhere except for?

The spin occurs on an object when a force is applied anywhere except for its center of mass.


What makes the earth spin?

The spin of the Earth is residual from the formation of the solar system. The original "whirlpools" of matter started to spin as they orbited the sun due to the Coriolis force acting on them. This caused them to spin around the planets. his spin stayed after the planets firmed up into discrete balls


What are the three effects of force in full?

Force can cause an object to accelerate or decelerate, changing its velocity. Force can deform or break an object if the force exceeds the object's strength. Force can also change the shape of an object or cause it to rotate if the force is applied off-center.


How can you use newtons first law to explain why centrifugal force does not exist?

Newton's first law states that an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. In the case of an object moving in a circular path, centripetal force is required to keep the object moving in that path, not centrifugal force. Centrifugal force is a perceived force that arises from the object's inertia, rather than a true force acting on the object itself.


What makes the earth round?

The spin of the Earth is residual from the formation of the solar system. The original "whirlpools" of matter started to spin as they orbited the sun due to the Coriolis force acting on them. This caused them to spin around the planets. his spin stayed after the planets firmed up into discrete balls


When does an objects motion change?

The motion of an object will change when it is acted on by some force. This force will speed it up, slow it down, change its direction of motion or perhaps cause it to spin. All thses changes of motion are response to the force acting on the object. This is Newton's first law: An object in motion will continue in motion (and in the same direction) unless acted on by some force. Some might call this the law of inertia.


A stronger force will make an object at rest move what direction?

In the same direction of the force (if near the center of balance). If the force is away from the center of balance, it might spin it.


How do you apply a force so that an object will spin?

apply two forces , known as a couple


A fan spins in the air and air is pushed forward What is the object and reaction force?

The object is the fan and the reaction force is the air being pushed forward by the fan blades as they spin.


If the central fugal forces on a spinning object work inwards what is the name of the force that works outwards?

Centripetal force is the force that works towards the center of a path of circular motion.If the string breaks, the object continues in a straight line tangent to the circle, i.e. in the direction it was moving at the instant when the string broke. There is no force pulling it away from the center of the spin. Centrifugal force is a perceived force (non-real force) that we observe "pulling" objects towards the outside of a circular path. Centrifugal force only exists in the frame of reference of the object, it's technically not a force acting on the object.
