Centrifugal Acceleration

Topic

One of the interesting effects is the motion along an orbit, which to an external observer appears as a continuous fall towards the center. However, if an object does not remain in this orbit and begins to move away along a tangent line to the orbit at a constant speed, an observer within the rotating system would describe this motion as escaping from the center.

These concepts can be applied, for example, to the technique of creating artificial gravity and explaining how a ball is able to move in a loop.
