My feeling from the literature that I've read is that the effect refers to the apparently anomalous deflection of the path of a particle while the force is the pseudo-force or fictitious force that is introduced to explain the deflection. As for an argument for retaining the nonparallelism, this is what we find in the literature, ie the terms "Coriolis effect" and "Coriolis force" are used with about the same frequency and sometimes it seems inter-changeably. The choice also seems to be dependent on the context - in meteorology we find "Coriolis effect" (and my guess this is true for the everyday person), while in the physics literature "Coriolis force" is more common. I don't think the same can be said for "centrifugal force"/"centrifugal effect". Just to get a general idea of how common the terms occur in the literature I searched for each phrase in google books: <ul><li>Coriolis effect : ~44,500</li> <li>Coriolis force : ~138,000</li> <li>Centrifugal effect : ~16,700</li> <li>Centrifugal force : ~1,260,000</li></ul></dd> <dd>That's almost two orders of magnitude difference for centrifugal between effect and force, while for Coriolis the two are roughly equal (okay, a factor of about 3 but less than an order of magnitude). So imo I don't care whether the other article is "Coriolis effect" or "Coriolis force", but I strongly favor keeping this one as "centrifugal force" per the usage frequency in the literature. That being said, if the intro needs to be clearer on it being a fictitious force then that should be fixed. --<a href="/wiki/User:FyzixFighter" title="User:FyzixFighter">FyzixFighter</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:FyzixFighter" title="User talk:FyzixFighter">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Centrifugal_force_(rotating_reference_frame)#c-FyzixFighter-2013-02-20T05:33:00.000Z-PaulTanenbaum-2013-02-19T20:57:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">05:33, 20 February 2013 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-FyzixFighter-2013-02-20T05:33:00.000Z-PaulTanenbaum-2013-02-19T20:57:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-FyzixFighter-2013-02-20T05:33:00.000Z-PaulTanenbaum-2013-02-19T20:57:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Dicklyon-2013-02-20T05:49:00.000Z-PaulTanenbaum-2013-02-19T20:57:00.000Z"></span>I agree with FF.

When I evaluate the d/dt([dr/dt]+w x r) term in the next to last line, it does not give the factor of two in front of the Coriolis term. I believe the error is leaving out part of the first derivative operator: that is, in that equation, instead of the operator "d/dt" we should have "d/dt + w x" as the operator.

We have here a misleading article title, and misleading wording that implies that a <i>reference frame'</i>s rotation results in centrifugal force/pseudoforce. Rather, it's the <i>centripetal acceleration</i> of the frame (or object) that results in such forces. The centripetal acceleration of the frame (stated in an inertial frame) is proportional to the rate of change of the <i>direction of the velocity vector</i> (also stated in the same inertial frame). Thus, if the rate of rotation of anything matters, it's the rate of rotation of the direction of the velocity vector, <i>not</i> the rotation rate of the frame. </p><p>I grant that, in most usual cases (such as ball-on-string), the most common frame is attached to the object (ball) and is also rotating along with the object. The rotation rate of the frame in these cases is the same as the rotation rate of the direction of the velocity vector, <i>but that's only incidental</i>. It's the rate of change of the direction of the velocity vector that makes for the centrifugal forces here. If the frame was still attached to the ball, but was chosen to rotate at twice or three times the rate of the velocity vector, or if it was chosen to not rotate at all, it would not effect the magnitude of the centrifugal force, nor would it effect the actual direction of the centrifugal force. Such an independently-rotating frame would have different <i>numbers</i> representing the direction of the centrifugal force, but the actual direction (or magnitude) of the centrifugal force at any particular moment would not vary with rotation rate of the frame. </p><p>We should not muddle-together the <i>movement</i> of a frame (such as in a circle about a point) with <i>rotation</i> of the frame. They are two different things that can be independent. If we don't keep that in mind, it leads to fallacies. </p><p><a href="/wiki/User:Montyv" title="User:Montyv">Montyv</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Montyv" title="User talk:Montyv">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Centrifugal_force_(rotating_reference_frame)#c-Montyv-2015-05-31T17:32:00.000Z-It's_the_rotation_of_the_direction_of_the_velocity_vector_that_matters,_not_of_t" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">17:32, 31 May 2015 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Montyv-2015-05-31T17:32:00.000Z-It's_the_rotation_of_the_direction_of_the_velocity_vector_that_matters,_not_of_t"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Montyv-2015-05-31T17:32:00.000Z-It's_the_rotation_of_the_direction_of_the_velocity_vector_that_matters,_not_of_t"></span> </p>    </div><noscript><img src="https://login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?type=1x1&useformat=desktop" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none; position: absolute;"></noscript> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Centrifugal_force_(rotating_reference_frame)&oldid=1259523219">https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Centrifugal_force_(rotating_reference_frame)&oldid=1259523219</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks" data-mw="interface"><div id="mw-normal-catlinks" class="mw-normal-catlinks"><a href="/wiki/Help:Category" title="Help:Category">Categories</a>: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Redirect-Class_physics_articles" title="Category:Redirect-Class physics articles">Redirect-Class physics articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:NA-importance_physics_articles" title="Category:NA-importance physics articles">NA-importance physics articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Redirect-Class_physics_articles_of_NA-importance" title="Category:Redirect-Class physics articles of NA-importance">Redirect-Class physics articles of NA-importance</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Redirect-Class_physics_history_articles" title="Category:Redirect-Class physics history articles">Redirect-Class physics history articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Physics_history_articles" title="Category:Physics history articles">Physics history articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:NA-Class_history_of_science_articles" title="Category:NA-Class history of science articles">NA-Class history of science articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:NA-importance_history_of_science_articles" title="Category:NA-importance history of science articles">NA-importance history of science articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:WikiProject_History_of_Science_articles" title="Category:WikiProject History of Science articles">WikiProject History of Science articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:NA-Class_psychology_articles" title="Category:NA-Class psychology articles">NA-Class psychology articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:NA-importance_psychology_articles" title="Category:NA-importance psychology articles">NA-importance psychology articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:WikiProject_Psychology_articles" title="Category:WikiProject Psychology articles">WikiProject Psychology articles</a></li></ul></div></div> </div> </main> </div> <div class="mw-footer-container"> <footer id="footer" class="mw-footer" > <ul id="footer-info"> <li id="footer-info-lastmod"> This page was last edited on 25 November 2024, at 17:09<span class="anonymous-show"> (UTC)</span>.</li> <li id="footer-info-copyright">Text is available under the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_4.0_International_License" title="Wikipedia:Text of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License</a>; additional terms may apply.
