Did we solve your problem today?

Centrifugal force is the outward force felt by a rotating object (in its own frame).

The math behind it

Magnitude F = mass × velocity² ÷ radius — equal and opposite to centripetal force.

Worked example

2 kg, 10 m/s, 5 m → 40 N.

FAQ

Real force?

It's a fictitious (inertial) force that appears only in the rotating reference frame.
