'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
(x-post with Hec himself, who provides EXACTLY THE SAME very first link on google, proving that we are both lazy googlers.)
Heh! Or that Google is Just That Good at providing the best answer in the #1 slot.
(And how absurd is a physics smackdown between a lawyer and a web dev who were both, iirc, English majors?)
Dude, I am not a lawyer! Though definitely an English major.
And HA! Centrifugal IS a real force.
Yeah, but the Brontasaurus still really was a big paleontology mistake.
Ditto, sara. I just gave up completely on paying attention.

Yeah, but you still make the third Google page in cry.
tuggy inny and flingy outy
So. Adorable. Especially in relation to science. I Love technical terms.

We like to use the brainy, technical science jargon around here.

No, you just play one on teevee. But I was thinking of your citing of bon bon as a scientific authority.
The flingy-outy force did not pin me to the couch. The pully-inny force did.
And that same force is beckoning me to my bed now. (Though it may be the muscle relaxers, which really need to work so that I can drive to Cleveland tomorrow on my unexpectedly new tires.)
I may have to ask you a law school question or two. You might have said this already, but where are you talking the bar?
NC...my stuff is supposed to be here May 1st, although I'm dubious as BARBRI has yet to cash my check. Now that I think of it, maybe I should check into that.
Centrifugal force is a fictitious force. From the perspective of the thing moving around the circle, it appears to exist (and for any calculations being done involving something travelling around in a circle, you generally treat it as if it does exist), but what's actually going on is the effects of the acceleration. So, like, if you're on one of those amusement park rides that spins around, you feel like there's a force pulling you out of the circle, but what's actually happening is that the ride is pulling you around the circle, while you're already in motion with velocity tangent to the circle, but since you don't really experience the "pulling around" force, only the inertia, it feels like there's a force pulling you out of the circle.
(That's a horrible explanation. This is really difficult without being able to draw stuff.)
