What is centrifugal force?
Physics
ScanSolve AI Answer
Centrifugal force is the apparent outward force experienced by an object moving in a circular path, as observed from a rotating reference frame. It is not a real force in the Newtonian sense but rather a fictitious or inertial force that arises from the object's inertia, its tendency to continue moving in a straight line.
