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.
Centrifugal force doesn't exist in the sense of a force that pulls you away, right? But it does exist in the sense of being an equal, opposite force to centripetal force, doesn't it?
Otherwise, wouldn't centripetal force have us all pinned to our couches perpetually?
So, centrifugal force is really just attempting to move straight ahead while being pulled in a circle by the centripetal force?

I thought that force was called "television".
OK, the gatorade endurance crumbling people commercials? Freak me the hell out. People pieces! Ahhhrg.

Errr, yes -- I meant what Sean said.
I can't figure out why I find Anthony Lapaglia or however his name is spelled so dang appealing. Want to take him home and feed him posole. So weird.

Nope. If two equal and opposite forces are acting on an object, then it doesn't move at all. (Think about a rope in a tug-of-war, if the people on both sides are pulling with the same force.) When centripetal force acts on something, it does move.

Right.
I'm allowed to beat the dog over the head with a heavy glass, right? Right?
Great, I've gone from thinking about people I want to feed to VECTORS and how cool they are. Damn you all. I've been quite happy drifting far and wide from my degree.
brenda, he'll just give you sad puppy eyes. Give him a treat instead. Or bathroom banishment.
