The ball is held in place by a string. When the spring is cut, the ball flies in a straight tangent to the wheel.</p><p>In the camera's frame of reference, the ball constantly accelerates around in a circle due to the centripetal force pulling it inwards. When the string is cut, the acceleration stops, and the ball flies away in a straight tangential line. When the string is cut in the rotating frame of reference, a ficticious force (centrifugal force) accelerates the ball. </p> 79 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/223477540 2007-12-07 16:20:25 -0500 Doc Edgerton Films Watch a dragonfly in slow motion in this film by Doc Edgerton. 29 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/223440240 2007-12-07 16:34:19 -0500 Doc Edgerton Films See what a house fly looks like in slow motion in this film by Doc Edgerton. 57 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/223411960 2007-12-07 16:25:07 -0500 Doc Edgerton Films Watch a canary fly out of a man's hands in this slow motion film by Doc Edgerton. 10
