Was Homer Wrong?

[Mathew]

Ok, and the centrifugal force acts on?

The right arm and flying wedge driving the secondary lever assembly and its onplane relationship with the axis of rotation - right shoulder... why do I have to repeat myself....

I missed the straw man argument, but don't mince words. You intended to either be unkind or show your superiority. Either way it is a personal attack.

No I mean't it as an arguement is absurd....thats your interpretation....

...and in the context of swinging a golf club that requires?

Propelling is a very well known and understood word. It involves application of force, and the rate of application of force is power. Centrifugal force does not power anything, let alone the golf swing. Either directly or indirectly, Homer said that centrifugal force causes the throw out effect. This is wrong.

propel

verb

1. To set or keep going: actuate, drive, impel, mobilize, move, run. See move/halt.
2. To launch with great force: fire, hurtle, loose, project, shoot. Idioms: let fly. See move/halt.
3. To force to move or advance with or as if with blows or pressure: drive, push, ram, shove, thrust. See move/halt.
4. To stir to action or feeling: egg on, excite, foment, galvanize, goad, impel, incite, inflame, inspire, instigate, motivate, move, pique, prick, prod, prompt, provoke, set off, spur, stimulate, touch off, trigger, work up. See cause/effect, excite/bore/interest.

Congrats you've figured out that centrifugal force doesn't power anything and it is an effect we deal with - now tell me where Homer says "centrifugal powered swing"... The throw-out action is an action of the right arm which is kept onplane by the right shoulder turning the axis to spin the flywheel - centrifugal force propelling/moving/advancing/launch the secondary lever assembly/right flying wedge/right arm acc#1 into impact just like that string on the drum except it is checkreined against the left arm.... "Drum technique. Understand?"

So explain the misunderstandings. I've explained how Homer either misunderstood or deliberately misrepresented centrifugal force. I've explained the misunderstanding of the string example. I've explained the common misunderstanding of the endless belt. Go for it! Tell me where I'm wrong. I can assure you though, that TGM vernacular are not at all essential to understanding centrifugal force. Alternatively show me something from the TGM book which shows that Homer really did get it right about centrifugal force.

No, its your job to understand... I should be able to communicate this way with you. Just like a physicist needs to understand Einstein or X physicists theories before trying to disprove ... The onus is on you.....
