Simulation of Centrifugal Forces on an Overhead Projector

Buvari, A.

Physics Education, 12, 1, 38-39, Jan 77

Describes the use of images on an overhead projector to explain concepts like centrifugal force and Cariolis force in such a way that students can realize that they are pseudo-forces, i.e., observations arising only from referring phenomena to an accelerating reference system. (MLH)
