A couple of commenters expressed concern over the use of centrifugal force after my rant on the use of the word force. So, what is the deal with these two terms? Are they ok to use? Are they real ...

We solve for centripetal acceleration, centripetal force, and tangential velocity. In this Closer Look segment on circular motion, we investigate circular motion and solve for centripetal acceleration ...

We are talking about Centrifugal and Centripetal forces using a tornado as an example. Centripetal force is a force that keeps an object moving in a circular path, this force points TOWARDthe center ...

Motion is movement of an object from one place to another or we can say it is the process of moving, changing place or position. Motion requires force to cause that change. The time you take to travel ...

Find out more about Sir Isaac Newton’s laws of force and motion at the amusement park, Silverwood. A force is basically a push or a pull. Forces like gravity, inertia, and momentum affect everything.

Newton's first law can also be used to explain the movement of objects travelling with non-uniform motion. This includes situations when the speed changes, the direction changes, or both change. For ...
