What Newton did, in short, was to prove by analysis that the planets, revolving by Kepler's astronomical laws round the sun, have motions such as by mechanical laws are consequences of a centripetal force to the sun.
A feature’, says Gotch, ‘which more particularly suggests spontaneous cellular activity is the well-known fact that centrifugal discharges may continue after the obvious centripetal ones have ceased.
Even in the hyper-excitable condition produced by strychnine the spinal motor nerve cells do not discharge centrifugal impulses when cut off from the centripetal connexions.
As the First Body cannot be infinite, so neither can those bodies be infinite whose nature it is to move to the centre and from the centre--neither the centripetal nor the centrifugal body.
In the Infinite, there is neither centre nor periphery; no terminus prefixed either for upward or downward motion; no own place either for centripetal or centrifugal matter.
The centripetal body cannot be carried to an infinite distance downward, nor the centrifugal body to an infinite distance upward.
For, first, there are only three simple motions, and one of the three it must have; but we have shown that it cannot have either centripetal or centrifugal motion (i.
As the centripetal body is heavy, if it be infinite, its gravity must also be infinite; and, if gravity cannot be infinite, neither can any heavy body be infinite.
But it is a fact that the centripetal body and the centrifugal body can be therein; for centripetality and centrifugality are of the nature of each respectively (ss.
If the right hand be employed, the characters are traced from right to left and are centripetal in relation to the axis of the body.
One could not desire a more typical example of reflex spasm, the area of irritation in this case being situated at a point on the centripetal arc close to the medullary centre.
His experiments had shown that he centripetal force in a circular orbit was equal to the mass of the body times the square of its velocity, all divided by the radius of the circular path.
He used calculus and differential equations to determinecentripetal forces of elliptical orbits, where the distance from the sun, the velocity, and the acceleration were variables.
With those who have soul, everything tends inwards; soul is the centripetal force of the spiritual life.
Goethe's avoidance of all psychological extremes is a significant witness to the centripetal tendency of "soul.
The doctrine that the heavenly bodies were moved by vortices was successfully modified, so that it came to coincide in its results with the doctrine of an inverse-quadratic centripetal force.
When this point was reached, the vortex was merely a machinery, well or ill devised, for producing such a centripetal force, and therefore did not contradict the doctrine of a centripetal force.
The earth is not moved by the combination of a centripetal and a projectile force; this is but a mode of speaking, which serves to facilitate our conceptions.
For a centrifugal explosion, they substitute a centripetal adjustment.
There was one between centrifugal and centripetal force, at the very start (assuming a start), when the star dust began to whirl, and all that have been since have been but differentiations from it.
The impressions of those agencies are carried to the ganglion by its centripetal fibres.
An indeterminate or centripetal inflorescence with an elongated axis and flowers on pedicels of equal length.
The social agitation will always retain a double tendency, a centripetal and a centrifugal.
The name of this man expresses all the centripetal force which the modern social movement contains.
I have to-day attempted to show to you how the centripetal tendency reveals itself.
A single radial tube, with a centripetal prolongation at the base and a terminal corona at the distal end.
A single radial tube, with a centripetal free prolongation at the base and a verticil of undulate terminal branches at the distal end.
Astronomy has its centripetal and centrifugal forces, yet they are doubtless one force.
Ebrard, Dogmatik, 1:172, speaks of the Son as the centrifugal, while the Holy Spirit is the centripetalmovement of the Godhead.
In Geryonia, centripetal canals, ending blindly, arise from the ring-canal and run in a radial direction towards the centre of the umbrella (fig.
Otoporpae" or centripetal process of the marginal cartilaginous ring connected with tentaculocyst.
The radial canals are four, six, eight or more, and in some genera blindly-ending centripetal canals are present (fig.
We know that the law governing the centripetal force, or Gravitation Attraction, is regulated by the product of the masses of the two attracting bodies.
Attractive Force of Gravitation, in that its mode of operation always acts towards the centre of the attracting body, and hence was called by Newton the Centripetal Force.
Thus for the first time in this respect, our philosophy agrees with our experience, and the true relation of the centrifugal force or motion to the centripetal force is made manifest.
Thus the physical cause of the centripetal and centrifugal forces should receive for the first time a physical explanation.
The comets are to be regarded as parts of the system, akin to the planets, but more remote from the control of the centripetal force of the sun.
Only it must be subordinate to thecentripetal force of the universe--the Divine will.
It is said that the centripetal force of our solar system is the Pleiad Alcyon.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "centripetal" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
