What is a centrifugal force?
Centrifugal force is the apparent outward force felt by an object moving in a circular path, observed from a rotating reference frame.
"Outwards" force
Correlation between gravity and mass
The more mass there is, the greater the force of gravity is.
Speed-Increasing Transmission
When a large gear rotates a smaller one.
When is something symmetric?
When cut in half, two sides are exactly the same.
Why do astronauts float on the moon?
There is less gravity on the moon because it has less mass compared to the earth.
What is the function of an "idle gear"?
It's just there to fill in gaps
or
It moves everything in the same direction.
