  2. Centrifugal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force

    Centrifugal force is a fictitious force in Newtonian mechanics ... [25] [26] The additional terms on the force side of the equation can be recognized as, ...

  3. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    The normal force is actually the sum of the radial and tangential forces. The component of weight force is responsible for the tangential force (when we neglect friction). The centripetal force is due to the change in the direction of velocity. The normal force and weight may also point in the same direction.

  4. Rotating reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_reference_frame

    In classical mechanics, centrifugal force is an outward force associated with rotation.Centrifugal force is one of several so-called pseudo-forces (also known as inertial forces), so named because, unlike real forces, they do not originate in interactions with other bodies situated in the environment of the particle upon which they act.

  5. Sedimentation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedimentation_coefficient

    The centrifugal force is given by the equation: = where m is the excess mass of the particle over and above the mass of an equivalent volume of the fluid in which the particle is situated (see Archimedes' principle) and r is the distance of the particle from the axis of rotation. When the two opposing forces, viscous and centrifugal, balance ...

  6. Newton–Euler equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton–Euler_equations

    Traditionally the Newton–Euler equations is the grouping together of Euler's two laws of motion for a rigid body into a single equation with 6 components, using column vectors and matrices. These laws relate the motion of the center of gravity of a rigid body with the sum of forces and torques (or synonymously moments ) acting on the rigid body.

  7. Effective potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_potential

    In its basic form, it is the sum of the 'opposing' centrifugal potential energy with the potential energy of a dynamical system. It may be used to determine the orbits of planets (both Newtonian and relativistic) and to perform semi-classical atomic calculations, and often allows problems to be reduced to fewer dimensions.

  8. Centripetal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force

    A centripetal force (from Latin centrum, "center" and petere, "to seek" [1]) is a force that makes a body follow a curved path.The direction of the centripetal force is always orthogonal to the motion of the body and towards the fixed point of the instantaneous center of curvature of the path.

  9. Centrifugation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugation

    For instance, the RCF of 1000 x g means that the centrifugal force is 1000 times stronger than the Earth's gravitational force. RCF is dependent on the speed of rotation in rpm and the distance of the particles from the center of rotation. The most common formula used for calculating RCF is: [7]
