Mad Science of Austin & San Antonio teaches us about center of gravity, pressure and centripetal force with four easy balloon science experiments you can do with your kids at home this summer.

Kids on the edge of the merry-go-round are experiencing greater force, and therefore are getting dizzier, than those at the center. Here's why. Dizzy, Dizzy, Dizzy ...

Warning: The spinning penny trick is known to be addicting. Once you start, it's almost impossible to stop. Centripetal force may get the best of you. Proceed with caution!

Centripetal force will keep the ball following this curved path. However, gravity is still the superior force and when you stop spinning the glass or slow down, the ball will eventually fall out!

It’s centripetal because the force is always being pulled towards the center of the circle. Since we live on Earth, objects are also going to have other forces acting on them, like friction and ...

The force associated with the normal direction is known at the centripetal force.” Lindeburg goes on, “The centripetal force is a real force on the body toward the center of rotation.

Centripetal force is the force needed to make something move in a circle. Well, maybe it would be better to say that centripetal force is the force needed to make something change direction.
