Last Friday, Doc told our class to look for examples of centrifugal force, so I did that. I just walked around my house and took pictures of stuff I thought displayed centrifugal force. Lets see.. Got a drying machine, since it spins around. A fan, since that also spins around. A toilet paper roll (it spins around too). My spinning chair, a planetary mobile, and one of those spinning ball thingys...just look at the pictures. Anyways, Doc also said to look for the inward force in such cases. It is hard for me to see these things. In the dryer, the inward force is the walls? The fan 
has the individual blades connected to the rotating center. I could go on and on, but the point is that all these things have some sort of inward force. Even if I still don't know what it is...go steelers!

Hey, there is no such thing as centrifugal force. There is centripetal force though, the other one is fictitious.
