AD is ignorant =P by Alanon   on Mon, 24 Apr 2006 00:19Guess what Duck ? Centrifugal force doesn't exist. Perhaps you meant centripetal ? =P |

AD is right. by Tobias Woulfe on Mon, 24 Apr 2006 11:50Hate to tell you Alanon, but you're the one whose misinformed, Centrifugal forces do exist. They are the equal and opposite force of centripetal. They draw things away from the center of rotation as opposed to centripital which draws things towards the center. |

This isn't amusing. by Barrak Draconis on Mon, 24 Apr 2006 21:20If you're willing to nitpick an entry over one universally-recognized word, then the nature of the contest is lost. It's true: in Physics, there is no centrifugal force. It's an illusion created by the nature of a spinning object to move forward, and the nature of the centripetal, inward-pulling force, to keep it properly orbiting in a spin. HOWEVER, this illusion is coloquially known as centrifugal force. And therefore, as a concept, it is given life. Don't tear apart someone's work because they're not a licensed physicist... |

RE: This isn't amusing. by Tobias Woulfe on Mon, 24 Apr 2006 21:35Exactly, this is for fun and centrifugal force is compeltely valid term to use. The fact is that it may not be a "real" force, but it still is used in equations and other things, kind of like the number i. Math and physics are full of fictious things that are used in real ways. |

This isn't amusing. by Sirene LaShaw on Mon, 24 Apr 2006 22:31Boys.. Please. When i read it, i didnt stop giggling for ten minutes. Is this a FANTASY relm or a SCIENTIFIC realm? To paraphrase a friend of mine. "Make up words as they are needed." I think tearing this apart because of one word that is questionabbly webster approved is making us loose the creativity and the fun that went into the post to begin with. AD.. kudos. |
