We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi JonnathanAguilar,

The particular named expression is taken from Alpresa’s paper (2017) whereby she defines an ingenious equation for the inertial forces for the x-direction (ex) and y-direction (ey) forces below; whereby the α represents the angular velocity, ω represents the orbital radius, The z-direction as you would expect follows that of gravity (-9.81 m/s2) and is therefore not seen in the equation but rather just manually input in the named expression. :



For more information, you can check the paper out:

with regards.
