It’s super interesting though. Animation let’s you play God and defy all the rules of logic, let alone physics. I wonder if there are examples in major film productions where the animator unintentionally slipped up? There are millions of examples of the animator intentionally mucking about. Think of that pause in mid air when Wiley Coyote runs off a cliff and has his moment of self-realisation.

[@jeffweber8244]

Great video. When we get in a spinning ride and “feel” centrifugal force, what we’re feeling is a combination of our inertia trying to carry us in a straight line and the ride deflecting our path to the center (centripetal). That is why it is called a pseudo-force in physics.

[@DJ-Brownie-UK]

woah woah there is science and pseudo science , using the term pseudo to double barrell ANY scientific aspects like pseudo-force is utter nonsense and a clear abuse of language to sooth the pain of the ever growing problem of the many crumbling scientific theories, theories that Schools teach children to believe as real facts.

[@PunnamarajVinayakTejas]

Yeah. I like to think of it as "you are not getting pushed outward, but the car is pushing you inward"

[@SpybottleMessuage]

The centripetal force is the force that applied to the center of the spinning, and the centrifugal force - actually, that the force that applied at the point of centripetal force, but in opposite direction - from center of the spinning outward. If you disbalance those forces, for example, cut the string that holding the spinning object, the spinning object will fly away from the spinning spot. The sport discus thrower is the example - spinning man throwing the discus as like centrifugally accelerated.

[@veivoli]

@@SpybottleMessuage Sorry for coming in late - I've just found this... If you cut the string the object will continue with the velocity at that time (remember, velocity is a vector and has both magnitude and direction) and travel at a tangent to the orbit in the direction it was travelling at the instant the string was cut. If centrifugal force were real it would travel along a radius away from the centre. Again, the discus travels along a tangent, not directly away from the centre. There is no centrifugal force in an inertial frame of reference. As explained in the video centrifugal force is a pseudo force used to explain observations in a non-inertial frame of reference.The unbalanced *centripetal* force accelerates the body towards the centre of the circle.

I remember learning about centripedal force. The example demonstrated were weights on a spring sealed in jars of liquid on the end of a rotating plank of wood. It was obvious that the fluid was the dominant force thst pushed the weights towards the centre. So calling it a "pseudo" force feels very appropriate.

[@Sophss-q6h]

This just cleared up a 7 years dilemma for me

[@FalkFlak]

As with most such explanations few answer the ACTUAL question people have: why they "feel" a force acting away from the center! This explanation only makes sense in mathematical way. It's very easy, though: Just recognize the tangential motion/force always points outside the orbit, away from the center. Of course you need a force to the side to make the motion a curve. Thats what the video explains in all elaborateness. But look at it the other way. If you have no "anchor"/a force to hold on to like gravitation, a rope etc. the object always moves away from the center (in a straight line 90° to it). And the faster you move the more force you need to apply to not move away from the center. Sitting in a car driving in a bend the asphalt's friction (the "force" to the center) holds the car in line but YOU as the driver move outward basically hitting the inner side of the door constantly as it keeps getting "in your way" on your tangential motion away from the center.

[@okaro6595]

Centrifugal force is no different from the force you feel in a car when it accelerates. The rotating object accelerates towards the center. Of of the key concepts that lead to general relativity was that you cannot tell the difference between acceleration and gravity my measuring it on a single point.

[@FalkFlak]

indeed

[@anmirfan6447]

Wow great explanation but another reason might be becoz example ur on a ride with walls attached behind u, ride is moving 360 degrees and Ure acting ur weight on the walls so this force is acting towards walls, something like that ?

[@FalkFlak]

Yeah, Something like that. If you throw a baseball in a rotating fashion and then let loose, the ball flies 90° straight away from your arm and not in the direction your arm points. It's like pushing the ball to the side but also changing the direction the whole time whats causing the "centrifugal feel" as if the ball wants to fly in the direction you point with your arm. But at no point is there any push in that direction. The feel is the pull you need to make to change the direction of the ball (which tries to continue in a straight line and so is pulling on your arm). So there is a tangential force outside that rotation - otherwise the ball wouldn't fly and you wouldn't need to pull it to make a circle.

[@rjones6219]

"YOU as the driver move outward". Wrong, the door is moving towards YOU, and it's the door that hits you.

Thanks! It's simply Amazing and Intuitive.

[@chrisg3030]

Thanks for such a clear explanation. I have some questions though. 1) When the tension is released and the object flies off, what direction does it go in? Perpendicular to the radius of the circle at that point because there's no longer an inward force acting upon it to prevent it from obeying Newton's 1st law? If so that would be yet another demonstration that no such thing as a centrifugal force was acting upon it, otherwise it would fly off in the direction opposite to the center. 2)1:41 "More the centripetal force more the object's deflection". If the centripetal force were to remain perpendicular to the direction of motion could it ever be great enough to cause a perpendicular deflection? 3) We know that planetary orbits aren't exactly circular but elliptical. How would you explain this with an animation of the sort you used with the tennis ball?

[@horsethi3f]

I’ll make an attempt. 1. Yup, it would fly off following the velocity vector (tangent to the circle at that point). There might be some confusion regarding centrifugal force, it’s perpendicular to both the velocity vector and centripetal force. 2. It won’t be completely perpendicular because the centripetal force cannot cancel off the velocity perpendicular to its direction. 3. It’s because the force of gravity depends on distance. There’s some nice animations if you lookup Keplers equations.

[@chrisg3030]

@@horsethi3f Thanks

[@PunnamarajVinayakTejas]

@@horsethi3f Centrifugal force is in the opposite direction to centripetal force, not perpendicular to it. I hope to offer a more precise answer to 2: The "deflection" is the radius of curvature. Any amount of centripetal force can cause a deflection of 90 deg over some period of time. An instantaneous change would mean a 0 radius of curvature, or an infinitely high force.

[@progressor4ward85]

I suggest they are the same. It's just a matter of the perspective of the position of the observer. For instance, going around a tight curve, banking the turn forces the vehicle to push against the road. However, at the same time, the road pushes against the vehicle. One being centripetal the other one centrifical, so from an outside observer, he would see both forces as the same. But from the roads perspective and the vehicals perspective, they are different.

Friction and surface tension in mega orders of magnitude. When you spin something on the surface of water it has vortex and ripples. And if you put something nearby it creates a spin and motion around the vortex no matter what because of surface tension and drag components. Vortex usually get bigger for both because of interaction. Usually vortex never grow. Big Bang is something to do with huge split of two vortex.

[@andyveh221]

At 0:22 force is a change of velocity, thus acceleration. At 1:05 it's a polygon first, then a circle; otherwise great animation and explanation. At 0:01 and 2:30 it's not necessary to have the Earth rotate in sync with the orbit, and in that case it wouldn't be the Moon. (Acceleration is misspelled.) At 3:00, gravitation, tension, friction producing centripetal force, right on! At 4:00 rotate with the person instead. Again, otherwise great animation and explanation of the non-existence of the pseudo-centrigual-force. Overall, as far as the intent of the video is concerned, explaining centripetal force, this is almost perfect.

[@andyveh221]

It would be really great to be with the observer on the rotating platform. Obviously from that point of view the block seems not move, thus forces balance each other, and hence possibly the need for a centrifugal force (which shows up in the equations). But now measure these forces within the rotating system: the inward static friction can be measured but the outward force that ought to balance it cannot be measured - because it doesn't exist, not even within the rotating system. Ergo, the concept of centriifugal force is bogus either way.

[@catkeys6911]

0:33 Let's figure it out with an interesting thought experiment: Why does the animation of a cylindrical shape, shown spinning the wrong way to be driven by the cogged wheel, show a misunderstanding of basic mechanics? Nevertheless, this was very clear and concise explanation, as well as definition illustrating the difference between centrifugal and centripetal force.

[@TheEulerID]

It's acceleration that's necessarily in the direction of force, not velocity. A car that is braking will be accelerating in the direction of the force, but it's velocity will be in the opposite direction. For a car travelling at a constant velocity, the net force operating on it is zero as the force driving it forwards is exactly cancelled out by the forces of air resistance and friction that oppose it.

[@mr.rachetphilanthrophist601]

No, you wrote the other way, it's velocity would be in direction of force, because object is not turning back due to breaking, and it is accelaration that would be negative (as it retards the car) and change direction.

[@TheEulerID]

@@mr.rachetphilanthrophist601 Firstly, it's braking not breaking. Secondly if a vehicle is slowing down, then both the force and the acceleration are in the opposite direction to its velocity as will be the force. What I wrote was the acceleration is in the direction of the force and that is always the case. If the velocity is considered to be positive along the line of travel and the vehicle slows down, then both force and acceleration are negative. However, if the velocity in the line of travel is negative (that is going the opposite direction), then both the acceleration and force will be positive. This all depends on the frame of reference and in which direction along each axis that the displacement is considered to increase. Usually that's drawn as left to right, but that's just convention; mathematically it works either way.

[@rclrd1]

The video gives a nice explanation of centripetal force but it's ruined by the ridiculous statement at the beginning: _"in mechanics we generally see velocity in the direction of the applied force"._ What nonsense! It's _acceleration_ of course, not _velocity,_ that's aligned with applied force (Newton's 2nd law). At any instant the relation between the velocity of a moving object and a force applied to it is completely _arbitrary._

I have never considered the surface of the spinning fluid to be curving, but, simply trying to move away from the centre, and being forced up the side of the container because it has nowhere else to go. As the particles move away from the centre and start climbing the walls of the container, naturally, there would be fewer particles in the middle, thus the surface of the fluid drops.

Thank You Pragun Sharma

[@ryan-tabar]

At about 4:51, the man states that the vertical component of the tension force must equal the weight of the ball as it's moving upwards due to the increased tension. But that vertical component cannot be equal to the weight of the ball because if it was, it would mean the vertical forces on the ball would sum to zero, thus no vertical motion would occur, or more specifically no vertical acceleration would make the ball move upwards. Something isn't right, or maybe I'm stupid. As the tension force increases, the vertical component must increase for the ball to accelerate upwards, but it must do so in such a way that this increase is greater than the decrease of the cosine of the angle (since an increasing angle that is less than 90 degrees leads to a lower value of cosine). But once an equilibrium is found again (when the vertical forces balance out), the ball no longer moves upwards. Perhaps it has something to do with the cosine function becoming more steep as the angle tends to 90 degrees? I don't know.

From where does moon get its force perpendicular to Gravitation Force? BTW Amazing Video!!

[@nathangmail-user8860]

Gravitational force is perpendicular to the moon's velocity, as it would just move away without the gravity. Where did it get the initial velocity? that depends on how you believe the earth came to be, (e.g. I'm a young earth creationist, meaning I believe God created things the way they are, including but not limited to the initial velocity of the moon.) You might think that's dumb, but there is quite the substantial argument to be made that this is the case. Why doesn't the moon slow down? there is nearly no resistance in space, so the initial velocity is theoretically permanent ignoring very small or very slow changes like the decay of earth's gravitational field.
