What do I need to learn in order to describe this?

[QUOTE="BvU, post: 4996608, member: 499340"] Hello Reflection (noitcelfeR ?), welcome to PF :) Excellent subject. I have a suggestion: starting in the centre of the turntable is a bit awkward. You can imagine that the object takes off in a random direction, because it has no preference for a specific one. And then things go too fast to observe what happens. As an alternative, you could set up some experiments with a Newton-meter (i.e. a spring with a scale) to measure how hard objects have to be pulled inwards to stay in place, as a function of rotation speed, distance from the centre, object mass, temperature, humidity ;) Have fun! And you can bluff your way into special relativity by casually observing that "in view of the fact that ##v << c## we do not have to take relativistic effects into account" ! [/QUOTE]
