This is because it is not a force. It is a reflection of newtons 1st law, any object will continue along it path in a straight line unless another force acts on it.

So when an object is constrained to rotate around a point, a circular path, it at all times will try to 'fly off' on along a tangent (a straight line from where it is now). This is what is called centrifugal forces. The only real force that acts is centripetal force, which is the force required to keep the object on circular path. This force acts directly towards the centre of the circle about which the object rotates.

That is to say to keep the body in the place , where it is, and to balance the centripetal force, centrifugal force comes into play. it has no cause of existence without centripetal force,hence it is called pseudo force.

Alternate answer:

Centrifugal force is not a pseudo force. It is called a pseudo force because some neglect the vector derivative. Centrifugal force comes from the vector derivative of the vector energy Ev= mcV. The centrifugal force is f = - mcDel.V. The minus sign indicates motion away from the center, center fleeing , centrifugal.

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.


Is centrifugal a real force?

Centrifugal force is commonly referred to as a "fictitious" or "pseudo" force because it is actually the result of an object's inertia, rather than a force acting on the object. In a rotating reference frame, such as on a carousel or in a spinning room, the outward acceleration created by inertia is often perceived as centrifugal force.


Can you distinguish between real force and pseudo force?

Real forces arise from interactions between objects, such as gravity or contact forces. Pseudo forces, also known as fictitious forces, are apparent forces that arise from non-inertial reference frames, such as the centrifugal force experienced in a rotating frame of reference. Real forces can be directly attributed to physical interactions, while pseudo forces only appear when observing dynamics from an accelerated or rotating frame.


The force which impels an orbiting object out of its orbit is called the force?

The force which impels an orbiting object out of its orbit is called the centripetal force.


Why is centrifugal force not real?

Centrifugal force is often called a "fictitious" or "pseudo" force because it only appears to act on objects in a rotating reference frame, not in an inertial frame. In reality, the force is the result of inertia and the object's tendency to move in a straight line, rather than being a force that pushes or pulls the object outwards. The sensation of being pushed outwards in a rotating system is due to the object's inertia resisting the inward force required to keep it moving in a circle.

Is centri petal force pseudo force?

No. The centrifugal force is a pseudoforce or a ficticious force; the centripetal force is a real force.

Why you need pseudo force?

pseudo force is a force which is not real (or) A force whose direction is determined conventionally or by custom is called a pseudo force.

Is centrifugal force a pseudo force?

Yes. Sort of. If you consider the rotating system from the point of view of somebody OUTSIDE the system (not participating in the rotation), no "centrifugal force" is required to explain anything; there is an unbalanced centripetal (center-seeking) force, which accelerates whatever rotates, toward the center.


What is the apparent force that results from centripetal force called?

Centrifugal force.


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.

What did Newton formulated about unbalanced forces?

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Now when we rotate a stone tied to a string we see that we are applying force to make the stone rotate but again this force should cause the stone to move towards the center as there is no other force to balance it. But it doesn't. Thats where a mysterious force called a pseudo force comes in. Pseudo force as it doesn't exist in reality and we assume its just there because the third law predicts it so. Its called the centrifugal force.


Outward force equal and opposite to a inward force is called?

That's a mythical, nonexistent thing called "centrifugal force".


How Centrifugal force works?

Relax. It doesn't exist. If you prefer not to fight with the people who insist that it does, but at the same time remain true to your convictions, a nice non-confrontational way to do that is to refer to it as a "pseudo-force".
