|    Acceleration on the carousel    |
|    21 Jan 19 20:13:03    |
      From: fortunati.luigi@gmail.com              A tube is diametrically fixed on the carousel.              In the tube there is a little ball free to move, which is "fired" out       like a bullet.              In the rotating reference of the carousel (and until it is inside the       tube) the "projectile" moves outwards with increasing speed, ie with       acceleration?              If the answer is yes, the force that accelerates the ball in the tube       is the "centrifugal" force?              And if even this answer is yes, is this force real or apparent?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
