Ok to make this easy let's start with a 10 lb Bowling ball (let's even say 10 inch diameter) moving at 10 mph. What is the difference in the forward force (energy) required to stop the ball verses the energy applied the move the ball through a 90 degree curve with a 20 inch diameter arc. In short what force lbs would be measured by both assuming everything is the same except for the 90 degree bend in one.
