Centrifugal Force School Project
Centrifugal Force Is An Inertial Force Which Tends To Pull An Object Outward When It Is In Orbit Or Is Rotating Around A Center. As A Car Makes A Turn, The Force Of Friction Acting Upon The Turned Wheels Of The Car Provides Centripetal Force Required For Circular Motion. As A Bucket Of Water Is Tied To A String And Spun In A Circle, The Tension Force Acting Upon The Bucket Provides The Centripetal Force Required For Circular Motion. Hypothesis: What Will Happen To The Water In The Bucket When The Bucket Is Spun Faster? Slower? Results: The Water Will Spill Out Of The Bucket When The Gravitational Force Of The Water Exceeds The Centripetal Force Exerted On The Water When It Is Upside Down. Why? Centripetal Force Exerted On A Spinning Object Like Our Bucket Of Water Also Leads To An Equal And Opposite Centrifugal Force, An Apparent Force That Draws A Rotating Object Away From The Center Of Rotation (Thus Holding The Water In The Bottom Of The Bucket As It Passes Overhead). Centrifugal Force Is A Consequence Of Inertia—The Tendency Of A Moving Object To Want To Continue Moving In A Straight Line. As We Fling Our Bucket Of Water In An Arc Over Our Head, The Water Wants To Continue Traveling In A Straight Line, But Our String Constantly Redirects The Water So It Travels In An Arc Instead! Water’s Inertia Resists This Redirection, Leading To The Apparent Force That “Pulls” The Water Into The Bottom Of The Bucket. It’s A Great Example Of Newton’s Third Law: The String Pulls On The Water To Change Its Direction From A Straight Line To An Arc (Centripetal Force), And The Water’s Inertia Pulls Back (Centrifugal Force)!
