Previously, we have reviewed the rotational motion from the standpoint of the Law of Mechanics. At that time, our attention was focused on the rotational motion of celestial bodies with gravity, that is a self-rotation under the action of the absorbed ether.
The main distinguishing feature of this rotation is the absence of centrifugal forces. Centrifugal forces do not occur on the surfaces of celestial bodies rotating around their own axis, as the ether surrounding them rotates synchronously with them. This ether is driven by the heavenly bodies themselves, as they absorb ether producing gravity.
But for celestial bodies that do not have gravity, the situation is completely different.
During the rotation of such bodies the centrifugal force is produced, because rotation occurs in still ether.
In this article will review this, the most common type of rotational motion — the rotation of bodies in a stationary ether.
In this case, the ether does not rotate with the body and therefore the body experiences centrifugal forces. Centrifugal forces are caused by the acceleration of body parts relative to the ether.
Accelerations of parts of the body are directed to the axis of rotation and therefore are called centripetal accelerations. And since the atoms of a solid body move with acceleration relative to the fixed ether, the mechanical forth is applied to atoms of the body from stationary ether.
Our model of the structure of substance, which corresponds to the mechanism of ether seeping through internal atomic gaps, is considered in the section devoted to the structure of substance.
In the type of rotational motion under consideration, accelerations exist even if the rotation occurs at a constant angular velocity; these accelerations occur due to a constant change in the direction of the ether flow inside the body.
Rotational motion is the simplest example of the interaction of the body only with ether, and nothing but ether.
In the case of free rotation, the body does not interact with other bodies, and this circumstance drives Newtonian mechanics into paralysis. According to Newtonian mechanics, forces arise only as a result of interactions between bodies. And since there is no interaction of bodies, it is impossible to apply Newton’s Third law, and there are problems with the Second law also.
Organized science does not know what to do with the centrifugal force that occurs during rotational movements. Centrifugal force even declare a fictitious, conditionally introduced, as it is directed against centripetal acceleration, which creates it. The problem here is the fundamental incorrectness of Newton’s Second law, according to which the force coincides in the direction with the acceleration given to the body. That is, Newton’s Second law could hypothetically recognize the existence of only a ”centripetal force”, which would correspond to the centripetal acceleration, but such a force somehow does not arise independently…
For an unbiased mind, it is enough to analyze the explanations of rotational motion given by the Law of Mechanics to ascertain that Newton’s laws are inadequate.
According to the Law of Mechanics, the forces exerted to the bodies during acceleration of the ether relative to the body; and the direction of the force coincides with the direction of the acceleration of the ether, and that happens in case of rotation.
The limitation of Newton’s Second law is that it applies only to rectilinear movements, and only to accelerated movements (that is, movements with increasing speed). As soon as braking occurs and the force of inertia takes effect, Newton’s second law becomes unusable. Therefore, ” inertial and non-inertial reference systems“ were invented, and the force of inertia fell into the category of “fictitious” forces, whatever that means…
With accelerated rectilinear motion, the body is in contact with another (accelerating, pushing or pulling) body, and therefore there is an illusion that the force arises from the action of this accelerating body. But in the case of rotational motion, the interacting (second) body is not available, and yet the force (centrifugal) occurs. (Do not be in a hurry to be indignant about the “illusion”, an explanation of this heresy will be given in due time.)
We supplement an explanation of the centrifugal forces of rotational motion given by the Law of Mechanics by simple mathematics.
The formula of centripetal acceleration of body parts in the case of rotational motion is derived from geometric analysis:
a = w2r
(The text editor of this site does not allow to insert mathematical formulas, so the formulas will be translated into images and added to the text later.)
That is, according to the geometry, all particles of the body are accelerated towards the axis of rotation, and for each individual particle of the body, the centripetal acceleration is equal to the product of the square of the angular velocity of rotation of the body (w2) by the distance to the axis of rotation (r).
The acceleration of the body through the ether is equivalent to the acceleration of the ether through the body in the opposite direction. Therefore, the force applied to the body is directed in the opposite direction from the centripetal acceleration of the body parts. Thus, the centripetal acceleration of the body turns into a centrifugal force applied to the body.
By the same way materialized the force of inertia during rectilinear movements — the force of inertia is always directed opposite to the acceleration of the body (the direction of increasing the speed of the body).
To paraphrase, the force of inertia always coincides with the direction of the body’s deceleration.
Typically, accelerations are understood as both types of changes in the velocity of the body. Both the increase and decrease in speed are called accelerations, which differ only in signs (positive or negative).
But the Law of Mechanics specifies that true acceleration (increase in speed) leads to the emergence of forces directed against the movement of the body. A slowdown causes the force coinciding with the direction of movement of the body.
So, to sum up:
From the point of view of the Law of Mechanics, the centrifugal force is the only real force acting on the body in the case of uniform rotational motion.
Here we will interrupt the review of rotational motion, as the logic of presentation will require us to switch to other questions.
