Our annual school physics trip was always to Blackpool Pleasure Beach, as it's such a good example of Newtonian physics. You can learn about centrifugal force and Newton's first law from the roller coasters, and the Viking long boat is a giant pendulum. It's good for children to understand that science underpins all these brilliant things.

English Comedian

Gregory Benford

Very little useful science got done in the space station. NASA never did the experiments needed to develop the technologies required for a genuine interplanetary expedition: centrifugal gravity to avoid bodily harm and a truly closed biosphere.

American Physicist

Josiah Strong

Long before the thousand millions are here, the mighty centrifugal tendency, inherent in this stock and strengthened in the United States, will assert itself.

American Clergyman

Nicola Sturgeon

London has a centrifugal pull on talent, investment and business from the rest of Europe and the world. That brings benefits to the broader U.K. economy.

Scottish Politician

Margaret Rutherford

Perhaps an eccentric is just off centre - ex-centric. But that contradicts a belief of mine that we've got to be centrifugal.

English Actress

Sharon Olds

This creature of the poem may assemble itself into a being with its own centrifugal force.

American Poet

Used to describe forces and movements in physics, often related to spinning objects.

Physical Context

'Centrifugal' is often confused with 'centripetal', which is the force pulling towards the center.

Not Centripetal

Sometimes thought of as a real force, but it's a perceived force due to rotation.

Common Misconception

References groups seeking independence or less control from central government.

Political Fragmentation

Suggests a culture or community's desire to maintain unique traditions, separate from a dominant culture.

Cultural Autonomy

Indicates a trend towards distribution of authority in organizational structures.

 nutritional value of his most prized prep so he stores his honey raw he uses an extractor which removes the honey from the comb using centrifugal force okay so all the frames are in right and centrifugal force is gonna sling all the honey out of each one of these frames and as honey starts flinging against the sides it'll run down and when it's done

 Because if it doesn't, the centrifugal forces that will be unleashed will be demonic, and they will destroy the European Union. And that will be catastrophic not just for Europe but for the whole global economy. We are probably the largest economy in the world.

 The excessive torque at the rear wheels overcome static friction between the tires and the ground, so they become subject to kinetic friction, which offers less resistance. The reduced grip allows centrifugal force

 Imagine hopping on a fast-spinning carousel while holding a rope attached to a rock. As long as the carousel keeps spinning, the rock and rope will remain horizontal, kept aloft by centrifugal force.
