Ghideon Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) This part of the equation is incorrect or needs explanation: Fcp>Ffr Centripetal force can't be greater than friction as far as I can see in your picture. 16 minutes ago, John2020 said: Then show me your version for both frames. No. What you state is physically impossible. Or you have misunderstood centripetal acceleration. A picture of your example may help: The accelerometer is attached to the mass m. It measures the acceleration of mass m. The acceleration is visible on the display (green). The reading on the display is the same for both observers in the picture. The drawing holds for any of the times before, during, after increased of angular velocity. Mass m can't experience a different acceleration in different frames of reference. The motion of mass m just happen to be described by different coordinates in different frames of reference. Edited October 23, 2020 by Ghideon

If you start from invalid physics and end up with invalid equations. If two real forces (forces that are not fictitious) are different in two frames of reference we know you made an error. It sounds like you try to force your misunderstanding of rotation and fictitious forces (for instance centrifugal forces) on the rest of physics. It will not happen.

In other words, friction remains where it is but due to the increase in angular velocity, the centrifugal force will be greater than friction, thus it will start to accelerate mass m. 3 minutes ago, Ghideon said: It sounds like you try to force your misunderstanding of rotation and fictitious forces (for instance centrifugal forces) on the rest of physics.

An accelerometer is a real device and will not register fictitious forces. It doesn't matter what frame you are in. If your connection to the mass was a spring, it would extend until it was supplying the required centripetal force (because springs follow F = -kx). It will have this extension regardless of which frame you analyze the motion in. It's a real event, and everybody agrees on it. 1 hour ago, John2020 said: I am not assuming something else.

One approach might have been not to do any analysis in a rotating frame, which people have been pointing out for basically this entire thread. You misunderstand basic physics, and are trying to do analysis that's more difficult (IMO) Basically you're adding non-Newtonian physics and your misconceptions, and it's unclear whether your misconceptions are with Newtonian or the non-Newtonian parts

Bufofrog Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 I have been following this thread with interest and I would like thank the participants. I never really got the idea of a fictitious force, but thanks to this thread the concept now seems clear to me.

We already looked at the end of the story. Newton wins. The ONLY way to refute an existing (i.e. experimentally tested and mathematically self-consistent) theory is with experimental evidence. Until such time as you build a device that moves on its own, you will not have shown Newtonian physics to be wrong. All you can offer is analysis that is flawed in some way, and all of your efforts have either been to try and hide the flaws, or by baldly asserting that they aren't flaws (which requires an experiment; see above) 53 minutes ago, Bufofrog said: It also looks like John2020 has long ago reached the point where he should have admitted his idea was wrong, if he was ever going to. This is the playbook that we see over and over again. 1. Convince yourself that your idea is right. 2. Analyze your idea with physics 3. Contort the analysis to reach the conclusion you desire 4. If the flaw is obvious, obfuscate by making the example more complex Whereas in reality, if your analysis reaches a conclusion that violates laws of physics, you know you made a mistake someplace. The math is internally consistent, so this just points to a math error. 2

The idea behind this is that the centripetal equals to the static friction force initially that means the mass m is not fixed on the rod. If it was fixed then the tension would be always equal to the centripetal force (like having an infinite friction coefficient) at any angular velocity e.g. ω+Δω. From the moment mass m is not fixed, when the angular velocity increases the centripetal force remains the same during the transition (or better it becomes equal to the kinetic friction (which is much smaller than the static friction, something that is not shown in the equations) we may formulate the tension as being proportional to Δω. 1 hour ago, Ghideon said: Note @John2020 It may help drive the discussion if you refer to exactly which example the equations are meant to describe.

Please show me what doesn't match. 33 minutes ago, Ghideon said: And maximum tension in the rod can't be less that centripetal force, not in the example i linked. The first expression (as also in the rotating frame where the tension is labelled as centrifugal (see @swansont comment on centripetal) shows it is equal or greater and never less than the centripetal. When the mass m reaches the stop then, tension again becomes equal to the centripetal (stop=infinite static friction coefficient). 33 minutes ago, Ghideon said: Ok, but it makes the analysis tricky when personal terms are introduced without definition. It is external to the rod. But removing all non external (=internal) forces would simplify our analysis: F=ma F=0, a=0. Done (m = total mass, F = total external forces, a=acceleration of the whole system) How it is external to the rod when nothing applies externally to the rod. The rod has an angular velocity and when this changes then it acquires an angular acceleration. Thus, the tangential acceleration cannot be attributed to an external force but just from the y-component tension of the rod (or call it whatever you like it). 33 minutes ago, Ghideon said: That does not describe what happens. Introducing tension along the rod makes this complicated; you need to account for the fact that tension is not constant along the rod. I have already answered this. As I mentioned above since the centripetal is the static friction force, we could express the tension proportional to the angular velocity. At Δω = 0, we have the tension being equal to the centripetal force (uniform circular motion). For Δω ≠ 0, results a non-uniform circular motion that implies Tension > Centripetal. That is all.
