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.


When does centrifugal force come into play?

Centrifugal force comes into play when an object is moving in a curved path or rotating around a central point. It is the outward force that pushes objects away from the center of rotation.


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.


How can you use centrifugal in a sentence?

Centrifugal force is often confused with centripetal force.


Centrifugal force where it is been used?

Centrifugal force is used in a roller coaster.


Centrifugal force increases with?

Centrifugal force increases with increasing speed and radius of rotation. The faster an object moves in a circular path or the larger the radius of rotation, the stronger the centrifugal force acting on the object.


Is Gravity is example of a centrifugal force?

No, gravity is not an example of a centrifugal force. Gravity is the force of attraction between objects with mass, while centrifugal force is the outward force experienced in a rotating reference frame.


Types of centrifugal force?

Centrifugal force can refer to two types: 1) Pseudo centrifugal force, which is the perceived force felt in a rotating reference frame due to inertia, and 2) Centrifugal force in mechanics, which is the outward force experienced by an object moving in a curved path.


What is a spinning force?
