Centrifugal force is the outward force of a rotating object. The opposite force is the
centripetal force which maintains the object in it's rotational position. In the case of
an orbiting satellite it's rotational speed (revolutions per time period) creates the
centrifugal force required to overcome the gravitational pull (centripetal force) of the
body it is orbiting.
==================================
The first answer is a neat, tidy, well-written summary of perhaps the most popular
misconception in all of elementary Physics. Centrifugal force is a concept made up
to account for the sensation of force that we perceive when we move in a curve.
There need not be any outward force on a rotating object, and in general there is none.
Centripetal force is real. It's the force required to bend the path of a moving abject
away from a straight line. There is no outward force on an orbiting satellite. No force
is required, and none exists, to 'overcome' the centripetal gravitational pull. In fact,
if there were a force that overcame the gravitational centripetal force, then the
forces on the satellite would sum to zero and it would travel in a straight line.
Centrifugal force appears to increase with speed of rotation. Centrifugal force is a myth. It doesn't exist.
Centrifugal force is an illusion, and doesn't really exist.
Centrifugal force is a problem when turning at fast speeds.
No.
Centrifugal motion is an outward force on a body rotating about an axis. It is the opposite of centripetal force.
Reactive centrifugal force is not the same thing as centrifugal force. Reactive centrifugal force is the reaction force. It is the reaction force reacting to a centripetal force.
Centrifugal force appears to increase with speed of rotation. Centrifugal force is a myth. It doesn't exist.
Centrifugal force is a measure of the opposite reaction of a centripetal force.
The centrifugal force is an apparent (ficticious) force, caused by a rotational movement. The amount of the apparent centrifugal force can be calculated by the same formula as the amount of the real centripetal force.
Centrifugal force is used in a roller coaster.
Centrifugal force is often confused with centripetal force.
Centrifugal force is an illusion, and doesn't really exist.
Centrifugal force/energy is the outward force associated with rotation.
Centrifugal force is a problem when turning at fast speeds.
Centrifugal force .
No.
A launched projectile is not an example of centrifugal force. It is an example of centripetal force.
