The mother country, its agents, its superior legal culture—these acted centripetally, before Independence. ❋ Lawrence M. Friedman (1985)

All I ask of you is to act centripetally in entering the debate which is of vital concern to South Africa and all its people. ❋ Unknown (1992)
Therefore, this vibratory action is neutralized by attaching two additional like wheels to the common plane, with their rotation advanced 90 degrees, so that the second pair are imposing their equal arc centripetal force at the same time the first set of wheels are describing the two major and two minor arc centripetally imposed forces. ❋ Unknown (1990)
He came to the conclusion that the hypoplasia of motor nerve cells of the ventral horn and of other nerve cells of the same hemisection of the spinal cord resulted from lack of stimuli centripetally transmitted by nerve fibers of the first differentiated neurons. ❋ Unknown (1986)
If the reefrat can accelerate its own body without reaction, perhaps it can also accelerate gas molecules centripetally, also without reaction. ❋ Pohl, Frederik & Williamson, Jack (1963)
The blood-clot occupying its centre now contracts, the margins rapidly become approximated centripetally, and a small circular dark spot only remains, which is later replaced by a small red cicatrix. ❋ George Henry Makins (N/A)
Still entangled with my slumbers, I hesitated to respond to the friendly hands that were everywhere thrust centripetally toward me. ❋ Various (N/A)
There the volcanic phenomenon, when taken in its wider implications, made us realize that the upward movement of physical masses, in itself part of the total phenomenon, is due to a dynamic cause which we had to describe, in contrast to centripetally working pressure, as peripherally working suction. ❋ Ernst Lehrs (N/A)
The leaders of Canadian life who followed Confederation have worked centrifugally rather than centripetally, with the result that we are farther away than ever from having national schools in Canada, and the gulf between our two leading nationalities has been widened instead of narrowed. ❋ Unknown (1939)
At the clanking sound our little circle centripetally disintegrated, as if by sheer magic; and I was left somewhat dizzily to face a renewal of reality. ❋ Unknown (1928)
Caesars and Augusti of the West left her for Milan and Ravenna, it was because the Crest-Wave was departing, the forces turning centrifugal, and Italy breaking to pieces; long afterwards again, in the eighteen-seventies, when the Crest-Wave was returning, Italy must flow in centripetally to Rome; no Turin, no Florence would do. ❋ Kenneth Morris (1908)
Yachtsmen, visitors, farmers and country wives, sober citizens and mothers of families, all meet centripetally and mount and are whirled to the mad strains of the barrel-organ under the flaming naphtha, around the revolving pillar where the mirrored images chase one another too quickly for thought to answer their reflections. ❋ Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch (1903)
All her dreams had her father, either centrifugally or centripetally, beating through them. ❋ J. Hartley Manners (1899)
It consists of the SENSORY nerves, which conduct centripetally the impressions from the skin and the sense-organs to the central marrow, and of the MOTOR nerves, which convey centrifugally the movements of the will from the central marrow to the muscles. ❋ Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (1876)
The excitement can not pass off to the diction-center D on the same anatomical path as the return impulse from D, because not a single case is known of a nerve-fiber that in natural relations conducts both centrifugally _and_ centripetally, although this possibility of double conduction does occur under artificial circumstances. ❋ William T. Preyer (1869)
It appears to lie within my mental eyeball, and to be viewed centripetally. ❋ Francis Galton (1866)
But there is one important difference: when the central glands are irritated, they transmit centrifugally an influence up the pedicels of the exterior tentacles to their glands; but the actual process of aggregation travels centripetally, from the glands of the exterior tentacles down their pedicels. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)
Nick tried to tell is friends at [the Harley Davidson] [Cafe] that centripetal was a word, but because nobody believed him, he had to [go home] and let google prove his point for him. ❋ Dr. Albert Einstein (2005)
[Centripetal] [force] provides the [centripetal acceleration]. ❋ Physicsnoob:p (2020)
