|    Circular motion without centripetal forc    |

      From: fortunati.luigi@gmail.com              Circular motion without centripetal force is impossible.              And then we must find a plausible explanation for this case.              There is a rotating table and a disc without friction.              If a person in the laboratory gently lays the disk on the rotating=20       table and if the friction is (really) 100% absent, the disk, in the=20       absence of friction, can not be dragged from the table, so it remains=20       still while the table turns downstairs without disturbing.              For the observer who rotates with the table, the disk travels around a=20       circle without ever moving away or nearing the center of rotation.              How can we justify the rotary motion in the accelerated reference if no=20       centripetal force acts on the disc?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
