The problem of consciousness is arguably the most central issue in current philosophy of mind and is also importantly related to major traditional topics in metaphysics, such as the possibility of immortality and the belief in free will.
Sections 8.4 - 8.6. We've looked at the rotational equivalents of displacement, velocity, and acceleration; now we'll extend the parallel between straight-line motion and rotational motion by investigating the rotational equivalent of force, which is torque.
It applies to any object moving in uniform circular motion. The force, called a centripetal force, points in the same direction as the. acceleration, toward the center of the circle. The term âcentripetalâ describes any force that causes circular motion. A centripetal force is not a new type of force.
