There is no force pulling       the child out. A force is required to keep the child in (on the       curved path). In an inertial frame the child is following a straight       line (until she hits something and gets hurt), therefore there is       no force on the child. It is only in the rotating frame (a       non-inertial frame) that there is a "fictitious force" pulling       outward. The physics is perfectly consistent, you are having a hard       time understanding it.              Rich L.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
