When you swing a ball on a rope in a circle above your head, what keeps it moving in that circular path? This applies to any object moving in a circle, not just a ball on a rope - the force and ...

Abstract: This paper proposes that a mass point moving horizontally in a circular motion on the Earth’s surface can generate a radial centrifugal force in the center of the Earth, thus realizing a non ...

Abstract: In this letter, we present SoftSling, a soft robot control strategy designed for accurately throwing objects following circular run-ups. SoftSling draws inspiration from ancient slingers, ...

Vertical circular motion is a special type of circular motion in which the forces acting on an object change as it moves along a vertical loop. Specifically, the normal force varies throughout the ...
