And if you had a steel donut and heated it with a very hot thing, when the steel expanded would the hole in the middle of the donut get bigger or smaller?
(Sorry RC. Hope you don't dream of steel donuts now.)

No?!? it's not accelerating? haha gotcha
oh man....you honestly have no idea what you're talking about dude.
what else can you tell me about physics? if you hold up a rope with one hand, then pull your weight off the ground with the other, do you fly?
No the hole gets larger always.
It's to do with the atoms vibrating faster due to having higher energy and the electromagnetic force (cant remember if it's electromagnetic or vander vaals) binding the atoms stays the same.
Digging up exam questions from 2 years ago here guys.
Who knows which way electrons flow in a circuit? positive to negative? or negative to positive?

Im not sure what your trying to prove. You took the topic away from cetrifugal force and added revolving mass centripetal force.
Go take a weight on elastic out into your back yard and spin it in circles and come back in and tell me the elastic didnt stretch.
Or you could just watch it online

no it does, but not for the reasons you've stipulated.
please, explain how newtons 3rd law of motion applies to your centrifugal force and the centripetal force you understand so little of.
and explain to me, if force is equal to mass times acceleration, that if a tyre is spinning but not changing speed is there a force pushing it outwards? if the acceleration is 0? how does that happen?


Ok if im incorrect Dave in the reason explain the expansion in a way that we all understand.
Yesterday you mentioned a decrease in diameter but now you state you accpet an increase and im not sure why you have changed your mind on that.
The low effect of down force on a high speed bikes front wheel(where most speedos connect ) or even the rear wheel taking into account bike dont have wings forcing them downwards .
there are so many things that effect the accuracy of a crude for of speedo. Traction against surface( the wheel the speedo will cause negative or positive changes depending on front or rear), expansion or disortion of tyre and theres most likely alot of others.
