| Mar 7, 2014 at 7:14 | comment | added | Mike S | @aksakai I get that you are assuming that the obvious is in deed obvious. I know that the centrifugal 'force' pulling the rope taut is manifested because its getting a constant course correction from the curve of the orbit. The tangent line is the closest extrapolation of a straight line from the curve so thats where you'd expect the inertia to propagate? Why is it then 90 degrees? Why does there seem to be zero inertia along the tangent line when that is the direction it is moving at any moment? | |
