[QUOTE="Earthmasque, post: 85359, member: 4383"] The sketches you linked in that thread contain no proof of anything. What you did was calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle as the length of one side varied. That's like me making a cake by carefully measuring cups of flour and sugar then claiming I proved the existence of ghosts. You seem confused, as you mention two different "centrifugal" forces in your posts in that thread as if they were the same thing. The one in the car is a fictional force. The one on the bucket is a real force. The real force (on the bucket) is an action-reaction force that results from you pulling the bucket toward the center of rotation. See, the bucket wouldn't go around in a circle if you weren't forcing it to by pulling on it. Motion, unless interfered with, is always straight line. The "centrifugal" force you feel when whirling a bucket is the bucket trying to travel in a straight line. In the car, when you go around the turn your body (and the rest of the car) wants to continue traveling in a straight line (and would do so if you didn't interfere by turning the wheel.) Because of this straight-line tendency (aka inertia,) you seem to feel a force trying to keep you in a straight line. In fact, it is literally the car turning out from under you. It's simple as that, there is no actual force in the car, and the force you feel from the bucket is the reaction force to your action of continuously altering the trajectory of the bucket (in order to make its path circular.) Sorry, but no, you didn't "prove" anything there. Or, maybe I missed it. I haven't been back to that thread since I was outed as Harte in it. Otherwise I would have replied at the time. [/QUOTE]
