Centrifugal force is force acting on a body in curvilinear motion that is directed toward the center of curvature or axis of rotation. Centripetal force is the apparent force, equal and opposite to the centripetal force, drawing a rotating body away from the center of rotation, caused by the inertia...

Centrifugal force describes the tendency of an object following a curved path to fly outwards, away from the center of the curve. It's not really a force; it results from inertia — the tendency of an object to resist any change in its state of rest or motion. Centripetal force is a real force that counteracts...

It's not really a force; it results from inertia — the tendency of an object to resist any change in its state of rest or motion. Centripetal force is a real force that counteracts the centrifugal force and prevents the object from "flying out," keeping it moving instead with a uniform speed along a circular path. read less

Centripetal force is that force acting on an object in circular motion that keeps the object in circular motion and prevents it from swaying our of its perfect circumference. The centrifugal force is the imaginary force that keeps the body in circular motion away from the centre of gravity. It is equal...

When a body is moving in curved path internal force-centripetal and external force centrifugal. Internal force tried to pull inside or towards radius of curvature where as external forces pushes outsides
