Is centripetal force a outward force?
No; "centripetal" implies an inward force.
What is a force that causes an object to move outward in a circle?
gravity. (gravitational force.)
The force that causes moving objects in a circle to be pushed outward?
Centrifugal force
If rotation of an object causes centrifugal force which pulls things outward why does a vortex pull things inward?
Centrifugal force doesn't exist, and no outward-pulling force is caused by rotating an object.
What is centrifugal motion?
Centrifugal motion is an outward force on a body rotating about an axis. It is the opposite of centripetal force.
Why does our weight change in space?
Because there is almost no gravity in space. When a person is in orbit just outside of earth, the outward acceleration will cancel out the force of gravity, giving a person zero weight.
Is centripetal force a outward force?
No; "centripetal" implies an inward force.
Is a nebula held together of the outward force of gravity?
No an nebula is held together by the balance of the inward force of gravity and outward pressure.
The outward force of rotational motion is?
There is no outward force of rotational motion. It is a force that is applied inward, towards the center of the circle that the object is traveling around. This is called centripetal force.The perceived outward force, also known as centrifugal force, is actually a reaction force to the inward centripetal force, and is a consequence of Newton's third law of motion - "To every force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force."
What is a force that causes an object to move outward in a circle?
gravity. (gravitational force.)
What is a force that pulls outward from the center of a circle?
This might be the description of centrifugal force.
The force that causes moving objects in a circle to be pushed outward?
Centrifugal force
If rotation of an object causes centrifugal force which pulls things outward why does a vortex pull things inward?
Centrifugal force doesn't exist, and no outward-pulling force is caused by rotating an object.
How can you use outward in a sentence?
Try this: "The outward force of the explosion blew apart the building." Does that seem ok?
The meaning of centrifugal energy?
Centrifugal force/energy is the outward force associated with rotation.
Outward force equal and opposite to a inward force is called?
That's a mythical, nonexistent thing called "centrifugal force".
What is centrifugal motion?
Centrifugal motion is an outward force on a body rotating about an axis. It is the opposite of centripetal force.
