Because there is no centrifugal force. The force of circular motion is inward, thus centripetal. If you are on a car that makes a quick right turn, you feel a "centrifugal" force leftward. But in reality, it is the car making an acceleration to the center of the curve, which is to your right. What you feel is inertia, not a force.
centripetal force is the physics in a carousel....
Centripetal force which make the objects move in a circular paths the old name was centrifugal force but this isn`t used anymore by the professors of physics.
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 is an important concept is any serious set of discussions of Physics or Newtonian Mechanics, because of the vast numbers of people who think that it's a real force, when in fact it doesn't exist at all.
The clothes have a centripetal force (the walls of the machine provide this) which pushes them towards the center of the tub, not out of it. But the water lacks a centripetal force (it fits through the holes in the walls of the wash tub) to keep it from leaving the path of circular motion, so therefore it follows its path of velocity out!

Centripetal force does not exist on a roller coaster or anywhere else. You would more be thinking along the lines of Centrifugal force. This is the force that pushes outwards. For instance, swinging a ball on a string, it is centrifugal force that keeps the ball extended outwards, and if you let go of the string, catapults it outwards. ---------------------------------------------------- In physics, centrifugal (centre-fleeing) force is a fictitious force. It is the reactionary force (Newton's 3rd Law) to the centripetal (centre-seeking) force in a rotational reference frame. In an inertial frame of reference, only centripetal force exists. The magnitude of the centripetal force is calculated as: Fc = mv2/r Therefore, if you want to increase the centripetal force, you can increase the mass of the object undergoing rotational motion, increase the velocity of the object, or decrease the radius of the circle of rotation and vice versa if you want to decrease the centripetal force.
machines, most machines are based on physics like wheels(centripetal force)

The center-seeking force in physics is centripetal.
Physics affects us in a different way. Without physics we would not be on earth instead we all would be thrown into the outer space because of the centrifugal force.
Biology Physics Chemistry Imagination is important to.
That means acceleration towards the center. For example, this happens any time something moves in a circle.
-- Momentum and centrifugal force are similar in the sense that both of them often arise during a discussion of mechanics, kinematics, elementary newtonian physics, etc. -- Momentum and centrifugal force are different in the sense that momentum exists, can be measured, has magnitude and direction, and is conserved, whereas centrifugal force is entirely fictitious and non-existent.
The stunts you can do on a BMX are only limited by your imagination and physics.
