This is the Honorable Discharge Pin. It was given to soldiers to wear on their uniform so that they could continue to wear their uniform after their discharge. The pin would signify to other soldiers (mainly officers) that he was not on active duty and did not have to obey orders or at least not all of the mundane stuff. The eagle in the circle of the pin looks kinda like a duck so the GI's referred to this pin as "the ruptured duck". It was awarded either as a lapel pin or a patch. The patch was usually worn above the RIGHT breast pocket. The patch was issued in different color material and color thread depending on the branch of service---Army or Navy.

Is Centripetal force the same as centrifugal force?

No. Centripetal force is a real force that pulls objects towards the center of the circular motion. Centrifugal force is a ficticious force that seems to pull an object towards the outside.


What is another name for centripetal force?

Another name for centripetal force is "center-seeking force." This force acts towards the center of a circular path, enabling an object to maintain its circular motion. It is crucial in various applications, such as in the motion of planets around the sun or a car turning on a curved road.


What is the penagon?

The Pentagon is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense and is located in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. It is a large five-sided building that houses offices and facilities for the defense department's operations and personnel. The Pentagon is a symbol of the U.S. military and serves as a command center for military planning and coordination.


What is the equation for fc?

The equation for the centripetal force (Fc) acting on an object moving in a circular path is given by ( Fc = \frac{mv^2}{r} ), where ( m ) is the mass of the object, ( v ) is its tangential velocity, and ( r ) is the radius of the circular path. This force is directed towards the center of the circle and is necessary to keep the object in circular motion.


Where was the Spandau military prison in Berlin?

What is the distance between the focus of a circle and the outside?

We're not sure what the 'focus' of a circle is, but since there's only one significant pointinside a circle, we'll assume the question is referring to the 'center', and we'll assumethe 'outside' means the circular line (which is actually the circle).(Isn't it great that before we can do an answer around here, we have to re-write thequestion so that it makes sense ! ?)The distance between the center of a circle and the circular line is the circle's "radius".

Why does a passenger in the car feel pulled toward the outside of the circular path?

The passenger feels pulled toward the outside of the circular path due to centripetal force, which is directed inward toward the center of the circular motion. This force is exerted on the passenger by the car as it accelerates and changes direction, causing the passenger to experience a sensation of being pushed outward relative to the car's turning direction.


Where is the center of gravity for a circular bangle?

The center of gravity of a circular bangle is at the geometrical center of the bangle, which is also the center of the circle. This point is equidistant from all points on the circumference of the bangle, making it the point where the weight of the bangle can be considered to act.

What is the direction of the force acting on an object moving radially inward towards the center of a circular path?

The direction of the force acting on an object moving radially inward towards the center of a circular path is towards the center of the circle.
