Circular Motion in everyday life

Circular motion is seen in many things in everyday life, such as washing machines.

Washing machines can dry clothes by using circular motion.

The clothes inside the machine have a centripetal force pulling them towards the centre of the tub, causing them to continuously spin.

However, the water does not have a centripetal force, therefore the water leaves the path of circular motion via the holes inside the tub.

The water leaves the tub along its path of velocity, which is always tangential to the radius (as shown on the diagram).
