I hope he didnt see it coming, was probably dead upon ejection.

And is not the correct semantics centripetal acceleration? That it really matters how you call it, most know it by either terminology. Except the driver...and best as I can tell his hat rack does appear to exit vehicle in opposite direction (to the right)
but I cant get the file from that link anymore..

See above post ;)

There is no such thing as a "centrifugal force". What we call centrifugal "force" is actually the observation of Newton's first law (Law of Inertia) in the absence of a centripetal force.

In this case, a seat belt would have provided the required centripetal force to keep the body in rotational motion within the vehicle; without it the body maintained a linear path of motion due to Newton's first law.

This is the same as when stone is released from a sling; the velocity of the stone at any instant is tangent to the path of circular motion, and when the centripetal force is removed by releasing the sling, the rock leaves under its own inertia in a straight line and maintains the instantaneous tangent velocity present at the moment the sling was released.

sorry, but there is such a thing. centrifugal force is a real force just like the force you would feel if you banged your head on the desk, which is what you should do for trying to propogate the myth that this force is not real.

I've only seen the clip without audio, but I think some sound effects should be added...

CRASH!
"Damm it!"
SCREEEECHHH!
"Ohoh... "
TUMBLE TUMBLE
"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!"
SPLAT!!!!
"Ommmph!.. That hurt... But I'm ok... SHIIITTT!!!!!"
SMACK! CRUMPLE CRUMPLE!
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Wait till I post this on Anandtech!"

am I hearing things, or does the guy say, "that was beautiful" before he says GD

Yeah, I dont' think he lost his head either. I just looks like the centripitufagulwhatever force pulled his shirt up to his head area. Can we get a confirmation from whoever said they have the "aftermath" pics.

Wrong. Centrifugal force is an imaginary force that is used to label the mysterious force that appears to throw objects outward from a rotating body; but this is simply the result of Newton?s Law of Inertia; the objects that appear to be thrown are simply resisting acceleration in a circle without a centripetal force directed inward to accelerate them in a circular path.

For example, in a car in a turn, your body maintains its inertia and tries to maintain a straight path of motion while the car goes around the corner. That is until you slam into the car door which provides centripetal force toward the center of the circle to keep you moving around the curve with the car instead of in a straight line. (Inward friction forces from the tires trying to slide outward due to the cars own inertia also trying to maintain its previous straight line of motion, and normal forces due to banked turns provide the centripetal force that keeps the car from trying to maintain its own inertia.)

Sometimes however "centrifugal force" is often the name given to the reaction force of a body against the object providing centripetal force due to Newton?s 3rd law. You feel a force from the car door (the centripetal force) and by Newton's 3rd law the car door must also feel a force from your body. This reaction force is sometimes called the "centrifugal" force.

But it should be clear that there IS NOT a ?centrifugal force? that ejects objects outward from rotating bodies.

I was thinking the same thing. Man.

I know! Imagine that, you are commuting to work, just like any other day... and then BAM! You kill a guy!

If it was an idiot criminal endangering countless lives by leading the police on a pointless chase - I'd pat myself on the back. I wish I could go around doing this legally :Q

Now you just need to see Mr.Hands to complete the trifecta.
Mr.Hands?... wtf why am I even asking??

QFT! Anyone who took physics should know this.

:confused:

The mope is perfectly fine. He just needs to dust off his pants, get his shirt pressed, locate his shoes, get a new vehicle, pull the muffler/drive train out of his chest, and find his head. Then there will be a trial where he will be found not guilty...

BUAHAHAAHAHAA sorry but I just busted out laughing reading this. Obviously I didn't watch the video, nor do I intend to. That video of the traffic cop getting shot in his car by some maniac redneck with an M16 (and the cop's screams) was enough for me to no longer click the "graphic photo/video" links here.

What video is this? Linky?
I don't remember the link, but here's the news story about the shooting (seems it was a 7.62 caliber M1, not an M16.)

Link to story

The video was from the trooper's in-car dash camera.

edit: Here's a link to the video. Not graphic, but the screams were just horrible, and I hate seeing/hearing the good guy (22 year-old rookie cop with a wife and baby) die.

This is the most horrible thing I think I've ever seen... :(

Second of all: I don't feel sorry for whatever happens to the people that cause these chases. We could only hope that they all ended with only the criminal getting shredded rather than dragging down innocent people and police with them.

:thumbsup:
