Centripetal in a sentence as an adjective

We can simulate gravity in space with centripetal force.

Are you taking into account the correction from centripetal force, though?

If it does so for a while, you'll notice all the money going to the center due to the centripetal force of its circular motion.

With one motor, if the vehicle is spinning, you could perhaps have a burst of increased thrust at a particular point in the spin and use centripetal force to move forward.

Has an exhaust system that is both radial and circumferential using centrifugal/centripetal forces to clear the gases.

That leaves things like spinning to create a centripetal 'hold' on the fuel with a narrower 'top' than bottom so that an axially spinning tank will accumulate fuel to the bottom.

Or is elevator's centripetal acceleration supposed to straighten it out?

I think an Oculus-concept could also be implemented for "Mission Space", which already simulates g-forces by way of centripetal force.

The tether would extend far far out over a geosynchronous orbit, such that the centripetal acceleration is exactly equal to the force of gravity.

I also question whether the structural integrity of these things is enough for them to withstand centripetal gravity without ripping themselves apart.

I mean your body won't feel the centripetal force, nor the tactile sensations so it seems like any movement at all would break the illusion.. and if presence is broken then you might as well just be playing a FPS on a nice monitor.

I've thought for a very long time now that the easiest set-up for an offworld colony, in terms of overall expenditure of effort and resources, would be to tow an asteroid to a Lagrange point, hollow it out, and spin it up for centripetal "gravity".

If the coaster is going fast enough, then the radius of curvature of the parabola at that location in the coaster's trajectory is greater than that of the track, in which case the track gets to apply additional centripetal force and turn the coaster -more- than it 'wants' to.
