i remember my high school physics teacher telling me 
that either the force that holds an object in a 
rotation or the force that pushes to the outside of a
rotation does not exist. im thinking it is the 
latter.  please tell me if that is true and if so 
which exists,centrifugal or centripedal(hope i 
spelled that right)
