Read the Wikipedia article on "ficticious force" for an explanation of the centrifugal force, and other ficticious forces. Briefly, it is a force that is introduced to maintain Newton's Second Law in a non-inertial (i.e., accelerating) reference frame. If the same object is observed from a non-accelerating reference frame, there is no need to introduce such ficticious forces.

Are centrifugal force and Reactive Centrifugal force the same thing?
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 increases with?
Centrifugal force appears to increase with speed of rotation. Centrifugal force is a myth. It doesn't exist.
What is centrifugal force a measure of?
Centrifugal force is a measure of the opposite reaction of a centripetal force.
Is centrifugal a 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 where it is been used?
Centrifugal force is used in a roller coaster.
How can you use centrifugal in a sentence?
Centrifugal force is often confused with centripetal force.
An example of centrifugal force?
Centrifugal force is an illusion, and doesn't really exist.
The meaning of centrifugal energy?
Centrifugal force/energy is the outward force associated with rotation.
When driving when is centrifugal force a problem?
Centrifugal force is a problem when turning at fast speeds.
What is a spinning force?
Centrifugal force .
Is there a centrifugal force?
No.
Is projectile launched into space an example of centrifugal force?
A launched projectile is not an example of centrifugal force. It is an example of centripetal force.
