| Circular Motion Physics Problem...?
If I'm standing on a revolving disc, how does my distance away from the center correlate to my likelihood of flying off? Say I stand 5 feet, 10 feet, and 15 feet away from the center. I'm thinking that I would be more likely to fly off if I'm 15 feet rather than 5 feet away, but I'm not sure how to explain it. Is it because I would have a greater velocity or a greater frictional force would be required?
