We've seen this done in movies right? Well, why don't spaceships have this technology?

Did you know that centrifugal force isn't really a thing? I mean, it's a thing, it's just not real. In fact, physicists call it a "Fictitious Force." Mind blown yet? To explore this idea further, this week Shini sits down with us to...

In this edition of IDTIMWYTIM, Hank addresses the so-called centrifugal force, and explains why you really mean centripetal force.

Discover the fundamental reason why centripetal force always acts perpendicular to an object's velocity in circular motion. This video uses a clear visual example to illustrate this key physics concept.

Torque & Moment of Inertia: Physics Problem with Multiple Forces

This content analyzes a physics problem involving a ball connected by two strings to a rotating vertical rod, undergoing circular motion. It demonstrates how to calculate the tension in the lower string, the net force on the ball, and...

This content analyzes the normal force on a driver in a car moving at a constant speed over a circular hill and into a valley. By first using the condition of zero normal force at the top of the hill to determine the centripetal force,...

What are central forces and how do they make objects spin or turn? Physics - Forces - Learning Points. A centripetal force makes an object follow a circular path. The moment of inertia is the resistance of an object when the speed of...

This review of circular motion explains key concepts such as tangential velocity, centripetal acceleration, and how objects move in circular paths. Tangential velocity is always perpendicular to the radius, while centripetal...

Here is a simple DIY demonstration of centrifugal force. This physics experiment shows how two ping pong balls move away from the centre when we start spinning.

This video covers: - Newton's first law - Newton's second law - F=ma equation - The idea of circular motion - Inertia and inertial mass General info: - Suitable for all GCSE and IGCSE courses - See below for whether it is higher or...

Forces are like friends… some are real and some are fake! This lesson will distinguish between real and fictitious forces.

Definitions included: frame of reference, inertial frame of reference, non-inertial frame of reference, real...

This problem is about finding the centripetal force (or the net force in the in direction) for an object on a spring moving in uniform circular motion.

What is the maximum linear speed a car can move over the top of a semi-circular hill without its tires lifting off the ground? The radius of the hill is 1.8 meters.
