Is centrifugal force not the act of spinning forces? or am i compleatly in left feild on this one? Link to comment

The cabin you are in doesn't move independantly, and it is stuck in the same position against the iron bars. So your body is trying to move outward. The thing the people are sat in on that is pivoting on an axle. If the platform was welded or joined onto the arms without it being able to move other than the way the arms were, then it would be centrifugal force. Think of it like a bike wheel, with those clickerdy-clackers (technical word, mmkay?), you roll it down a hill. By the time it gets to the bottom it will be going so fast that the clickerdy-clackers will be at the farthest point from the centre of force. If you attached two wheels together at the spokes and rolled that down a hill, and the spokes were on their own axis and could spin independantly, the clickerdy-clackers wouldn't move that much. You're making it unnecessarily complicated. Hank won't understand jack . Just imagine yourself sittin' in one of 'em seats in a carousel. The faster its (the carousel's) axis/center rotates, the farther you get pushed outward. contempt Link to comment

DURP!! Link to comment

Usually, they're chained to the axis of the carousel, and when the axis rotates fast enough, the chains will be in a straight line unless the passenger moves a lot in the seat. As for the amusement park ride from hell, I'm not sure if I'd wanna ride it. It's a little too crazy for my linking. contempt Link to comment

But seeing as how Hank knows what centrifugal force is, we should dedicate ourselves to this thread's topic again. Just watching that video made me wanna puke . contempt Link to comment
