  2. Centripetal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force

    The rope example is an example involving a 'pull' force. The centripetal force can also be supplied as a 'push' force, such as in the case where the normal reaction of a wall supplies the centripetal force for a wall of death or a Rotor rider. Newton's idea of a centripetal force corresponds to what is nowadays referred to as a central force.

  3. Eötvös effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eötvös_effect

    Cruising at 25 m/s towards the west the total velocity becomes 233 − 25 = 208 m/s, which requires a centripetal force of about 0.135 newton; local vertical component about 0.068 newton. Hence at 60 degrees latitude the difference before and after the U-turn of the 10,000 gram internal weight is a difference of 4 grams in measured weight.

  4. History of centrifugal and centripetal forces - Wikipedia

    Since the centrifugal force of the parts of the earth, arising from the earth's diurnal motion, which is to the force of gravity as 1 to 289, raises the waters under the equator to a height exceeding that under the poles by 85472 Paris feet, as above, in Prop. XIX., the force of the sun, which we have now shewed to be to the force of gravity as ...

  5. Reactive centrifugal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_centrifugal_force

    Unlike the inertial force known as centrifugal force, which exists only in the rotating frame of reference, the reactive force is a real Newtonian force that is observed in any reference frame. The two forces will only have the same magnitude in the special cases where circular motion arises and where the axis of rotation is the origin of the ...

  6. Newton's theorem of revolving orbits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_theorem_of...

    Newton illustrates his formula with three examples. In the first two, the central force is a power law, F(r) = r n−3, so C(r) is proportional to r n. The formula above indicates that the angular motion is multiplied by a factor k = 1/ √ n, so that the apsidal angle α equals 180°/ √ n.

    After signing our life away with the requisite waiver, we sat down and strapped in for the ride. Despite several minutes of build-up, the entire experience concluded in what seemed like only a few ...

  8. Equatorial bulge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_bulge

    The resultant force provides required centripetal force. Without this centripetal force frictionless objects would slide towards the equator. In calculations, when a coordinate system is used that is co-rotating with the Earth, the vector of the notional centrifugal force points outward, and is just as large as the vector representing the ...
