"Conatus recedenti ab axe motus" or the parable of Newton?s bucket

Marcos Cesar Danhoni Neves (Author)    

Resumen

An analysis of Newton's argument on absolute space is provided. The equation of the parable is given by describing the water surface from a rotating bucket related to the Earth. This rotation generates a trend by which the water recedes from the axis of its motion, or in the classic Latin allusion: conatus recedenti ab axe motus. The theme and its implications will be discussed from the point of view of the teaching of Physics
