-- Whenever I am moving and wish to change the direction in which I am moving,
I must find a centripetal force with which to negotiate the curve. Examples include
turning my boat from a northerly heading to a westerly one, banking my airplane
from base leg onto final approach, and walking down the hall and into the bathroom.
-- Centrifugal force has no effect in my everyday lives, since it doesn't exist.

Centripetal and centrifugal forces in Europe?
You question isn't very clear but I'll assume you are interested in the definitions of centripetal and centrifugal forces. Centripetal Force: Force on an object that pushes into a curved path Centrifugal Force: Force exerted by an object that is being forced to follow a curved path If you are on a merry-go-round holding onto a pole the pole exerts a centripetal forces on your hands that keeps you from flying off the edge. You exert a centrifugal force on the pole due to your mass and the acceleration you are undergoing due to your circular path. These forces are in equal and opposite directions as long as you hold on. If you let go both forces disappear and you travel in a straight line. However the pole you were holding travels in a curved path so from your perspective you are being flung off the ride. In Europe the units of force would be Newtons while anti metric zealots elsewhere might use slugs or pounds force. If you are referring to centripetal and centrifugal forces due to the earths rotation then the centripetal force is the portion of gravity acting on you that is needed to keep you from flying off into space due to your circular path on the surface of a rotating globe. The centrifugal force reduces the force you exert on the earth. It's equal to your weight on earth minus your weight on an equivalent sized earth that isn't rotating (you'd be a bit heavier in the later case). The magnitude of this effect in Europe wold depend on your exact latitude and altitude since these would determine your distance from the earth rotational axis and thus your rate of angular acceleration.
How does centripetal acceleration depend upon the object's speed and the radius of the circle?
The centripetal acceleration is equal to velocity squared over radius. a=v^2/r
How is artificial gravity provided by the centripetal force?
In science-fiction novels, large wheels are set up in space. It is very likely that this will eventually be done seriously. Somebody on the rim of such a large wheel would be accelerated towards the center of the wheel; the acceleration has a magnitude of v2/r. The person or object would feel this as a centrifugal force - a ficticious force. On a small scale, this force has just the same effect as gravitation.
How does gravity affect the relationship between the sun and the planets?
Yes. It keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.
What are examples of everyday life of the Doppler effect?
when a car, train or bus passes you and the sound is loud, this is when the waves are compressed meaning the object is moving towards you(blueshift), whilst when it moves away the sound dies down and the wavelength length increases meaning the object is movign away (redshift) Some examples of Doppler effect are train whistles, police and fire sirens, race car engines etc.

What is the earth's centripetal force?
The term "centrifical" is a word without a definition; some would say a non-existent word. It might have the same definition as "ncauvjnscc" or "oioushc" or any other made up babble you chose to imagine. However, the term has been used enough in common parlance as to associate its meaning with either "centripetal" or "centrifugal". The centripetal force is the force applied to a linearly travelling (straight line) object to make it travel in a curve or to make it rotate about some center point. The force is applied to the object make it move toward that center point. The centrifugal force is referred to as the opposite force to the centripetal force following Newtons Law of equal and opposite reaction. However, this force is a consequence of the inertia of the object (resistance to the circular motion) and acts on the source of the centripetal force, NOT the object experiencing curved motion. The centrifugal force is equal, but opposite, the centripetal force. For instance, a weight on a string attached to an object swung about your head experiences a force applied inward (centripetal force) due to your hand (the center point) applying the force. The string also experiences this force all along its length. Your hand experiences a force applied outward (centrifugal force) due to the weights inertia (resistance to change direction at all points in time as it moves in a circle). The string also experiences this force all along the string. The opposing forces on the string keeps the string in tension. Additionally, your feet share a friction force against the surface you stand on equal to the centripetal force to keep you stationary. So the question remains: which force did you really mean, centripetal or centrifugal?
How is centrifugal used in a sentence?
The effect of centrifugal force, and a poor grip, threw me right off of the merry-go-round. I can see how your last statement is centrifugal to our long-term strategy.
What is the effect of centrifugal force on the power developed in belt drive?
centrifugal force independent on tight side & slack side. And depends only velocty of belts only.
How does centripetal acceleration depend upon the object's speed and the radius of the circle?
The centripetal acceleration is equal to velocity squared over radius. a=v^2/r
If suction valve of the centrifugal pump being closed in running what will be a effect?
It will damage the pump.
Does the gravitational attraction of the sun on the planets act as a centripetal or as a centrifugal force explain?
By definition, a centripetal force is a force towards a central point, exerted on an object following a curved path. It causes an object to follow a curved path, such as an orbit; this is what the gravitational force of the sun does to planets. So it is clearly a centripetal force. A centrifugal force is defined as a force that is exerted away from a center around which an object either rotates or revolves. Literally, in terms of etymology, centrifugal means fleeing the center. Planets orbit the sun because of a balance of centripetal and centrifugal forces. If there were only an attractive force pulling a planet toward the sun, the planet would fall into the sun. And if there were only a centrifugal force pulling planets away from the sun, the planets would fly out of the solar system and into interstellar space. But since these two forces are balanced, planets remain in orbit around the sun. An object on which the forces are balanced travels in a straight line at constant speed. The planets do not travel in straight lines or at constant speeds, because the forces on them are not balanced. The only force on a planet is the centripetal force of gravitational attraction between it and the sun. That single force produces all of the orbits we observe, whether elliptical (repeating) or hyperbolic (not repeating). Those orbits are fairly easy to derive using Newton's formula for gravitational force and direction, plus some geometry and some calculus. Non-furious comments: I avoid writing "centrifugal force", by writing "centrifugal effect". I think that's more or less OK, depending on your "audience". Technically "centrifugal force" is called a "fictitious force". It is actually correct to use it in a rotating frame of reference. Unfortunately, it is often used incorrectly, even by educators. Luckily, the answer to the question was "centripetal force". <<>> The physical processes are that there is a force of gravity pulling the Sun and Earth towards each other. The force acts equally both ways, producing an acceleration in both objects, towards each other, following Netwon's second law: force equals mass times acceleration. The Sun's much greater mass means that its acceleration is small, while the Earth's acceleration towards the Sun keeps it in its elliptical orbit. That is what's happening, so for those who can't remember the difference between centrifugal and centripetal, don't worry, they are not terms used by astronomers.

pretty much everything that is an electrical appliance: TV cooker computer etc...etc
What is centrifugal tension?
As with any other rotational system in a belt drive during rotation, the belt is subjected to centrifugal force. Due to the centrifugal force the belt is thrown outward from the grooves of the pulley and causes additional tensioning of the belt. The effect of centrifugal tension is that it reduces the pretension of the belt and hence increases belt slip.
Does camber help the wheels stay in a straight ahead position?
No, it lowers the amount of turning that is required to achive the same curve, and increases the maximum speed that can be safely held through it; it reduces the effect of centrifugal force outwards, by using gravity to add further centripetal force to friction with the road. Caster helps the wheels stay straight.
Why velocity diagram are required for centrifugal pumps?
velocity diagram indicate the effect of vane angle, effect of jet angle on impeller speed
