nicely put

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks. I just learned it last year.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about Centrifugal Force ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um I'm not too sure on that one. I don't want to give you a wrong answer. Sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

centrifugal force is the force of an object TOWARDS the center of revolution

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

wait...i got it backwards

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

centrifugal is AWAY from the center cenripetal is towards the center

OpenStudy (shamim):

kinetic energy is equal to the work done by the object before stopping

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

for example if you spin around holding a bucket full of water, the water will not spill because of the centrifugal force

OpenStudy (shamim):

centripetal force n centrifugal force is equal for a bucketfull water

OpenStudy (shamim):

spinning bucketfull water
