According to Sir Isaac newton, a body in motion tends to remain in motion. We call that momentum. It is what lets you slide a long way on the ice if you get a good run at it. When you travel in a circle, like on a carnival ride, you are not going in a straight line but the forces of momentum have a tangential force, that is a straight ahead of you at each instant of time. You can think of throwing a ball, your arm is that carnival ride and you are the ball, as you wind-up to throw the ball, your arm moves in a circle and when you let go of the ball, the ball goes straight. The path that the ball travels is the line of momentum at the instant you let go of the ball. You on a carnival ride are like the ball, if the ride let go of you you would fly in a straight line away from the ride, but the ride does not let go of you, the seat pulls you back away from the line momentum want you to fly and what you feel is the force the ride is exerting to pull you back into the circular path it is traveling. The faster the ride, the more force it must use to pull you back, so you press harder and harder on the outside of the seat on the ride. That is how you feel centrifugal force.
What else can I help you with?
What happens in spinning rides?
A person will experience centrifugal force.
How do you use a sentence with centrifugal?
The word 'centrifugal' is an adjective used to describe a noun as moving or directed outward from the center.Example sentence:You are held in your seat on a loop roller coast by centrifugal force.
Are centrifugal force and Reactive Centrifugal force the same thing?
Reactive centrifugal force is not the same thing as centrifugal force. Reactive centrifugal force is the reaction force. It is the reaction force reacting to a centripetal force.
What is centrifugal force a measure of?
Centrifugal force is a measure of the opposite reaction of a centripetal force.
What are some examples of centrifugal force as present in nature?
Centrifugal forces at present do not exist in nature. However, the opposite of centrifugal forces, centripetal forces, do exist. Centrifugal forces are used only to explain that centripetal forces need an opposite force to act against it.
Is centrifugal a force?
The centrifugal force is an apparent (ficticious) force, caused by a rotational movement. The amount of the apparent centrifugal force can be calculated by the same formula as the amount of the real centripetal force.
How can you use centrifugal in a sentence?
Centrifugal force is often confused with centripetal force.
Centrifugal force where it is been used?
Centrifugal force is used in a roller coaster.
Centrifugal force increases with?
Centrifugal force increases with increasing speed and radius of rotation. The faster an object moves in a circular path or the larger the radius of rotation, the stronger the centrifugal force acting on the object.
How does the twister fairground ride work?
The twister fairground ride consists of a rotating platform with spinning cars attached to it. As the platform spins, the cars are also free to spin independently, creating the twisting motion. The ride is powered by an electric motor that rotates the platform, while centrifugal force and gravity provide the spinning and twisting movements.
Is Gravity is example of a centrifugal force?
No, gravity is not an example of a centrifugal force. Gravity is the force of attraction between objects with mass, while centrifugal force is the outward force experienced in a rotating reference frame.
How does centrifugal force affect the motion of objects in a rotating system?
Centrifugal force is a fictitious force that appears to push objects away from the center of rotation in a rotating system. This force affects the motion of objects by causing them to move outward from the center and experience a sensation of being pushed outward.
