The person who operates under the name “vhsjvc” has made another flat earth video with content that he did not create for himself. The claim is that centrifugal force and gravity do not mix. While I have already done a video refuting his rim velocity claim, I thought I would go ahead and refute this video as well.
The math I am using is super simple. Centripetal acceleration:
a = rw^2
a is acceleration in units of r per second squared.
w is radians per second
Centripetal force just needs mass to be put in:
am = rmw^2
Radial velocity is simply:
v = rw
v is in r per second units and
w is in radians per second
Gravity clearly exists as it can be measured. You can’t measure something that does not exist. The iPhone and other smart phones contain MEMS devices that measure the acceleration of gravity. It is well worth checking out how MEMS devices work because such things as density and buoyancy do not enter into it. Also these devices are ubiquitous.
The video I am rebutting:
