A fictitious force, also called a pseudo force, d'Alembert force or inertial force, is an apparent force that acts on all masses whose motion is described using a non-inertial frame of reference, such as a rotating reference frame.

It is an imaginary force...for example centrifugal force

Pseudo force is also called fictitious force. A fictitious force arises when a frame of reference is accelerating compared to a non-accelerating frame. For example if you consider a person standing at a bus stop watching an accelerating car, he infers that a force is exerted on the car and it is accelerating. Here there is no problem and the pseudoforce concept is not required But, if the person inside the accelerating car is looking at the person standing at the bus stop, he finds that the person is accelerating with respect to the car, though no force is acting on it. Here, the concept of pseudo force is required to convert the non-inertial frame of reference to an equivalent inertial frame of reference. Another example Consider a ball hung from the roof of a train by means of an inextensible string. If the train is at rest or is moving with a uniform speed in a straight line the string will be vertical. A passenger will infer that the net force acting on the ball is zero. If the train begins to accelerate, then the string will be making an angle with respect to the vertical. For the passenger, there are only two forces and they are not collinear. But, the ball remains apparently in a state of equilibrium (as long as the acceleration of the train is constant). Here, the concept of pseudoforce is required. Pseudo force to be applied is equal to the mass of the body under consideration multiplied by the acceleration of the frame of reference and the direction of pseudoforce is opposite to the direction of acceleration of the frame. read less

pseudo means unreal.No such force is needed if your are visualizing a situation from an inertial frame..But since Newton's law is not applicable if you are willing to work from a non inertial frame of reference then pseudo force is your tool. It's a tool which allows you to apply newton's 2nd law of motion (F=ma) when you are working from a frame of reference which is accelerated with respect to ground in order to give you the same result which you otherwise get when working from ground frame..pseudo actually makes things consistent with the two frames...centrifugal is one such name. read less

A pseudo force is not real. It is an imaginary force we create just for the purpose of simplifying calculations ans easier understanding. Ex- In rotation while Centripetal force is a real one, we have created an imaginary force called "Centrifugal force" which will be exact opposite of Centripetal fo...

No such force exists in nature. It's an imaginary force need to apply on object if working from non inertial frame of reference and only if Newtons Laws of Motion to be applied.

A physically apparent but nonexistent force felt by an observer in a noninertial frame (that is, a frame undergoing acceleration). Newton's laws of motion hold true within such a reference frame only if the existence of such a force is presumed. The centrifugal force is an example of a pseudo force.

pseudo force is not a force. we use it to describe some phenomena that occur in non-inertial frame. we use this term just for our convenience in calculation. centrifugal force is best example.

Hi friends. I thought of sharing something wonderful i found on web so that it can help all of us & augment our understanding of the topic - 'Limit' . I have shared the complete pdf in my profile gallery or the original web link at the end of this post. An Intuitive Introduction To Limits Limits, the Foundations Of Calculus, seem so artificial and weasely: “Let x approach 0, but not get there, yet we’ll act like it’s there… ” Ugh. Here’s how I learned to enjoy them: What is a limit? Our best prediction of a point we didn’t observe. How do we make a prediction? Zoom into the neighboring points. If our prediction is always in between neighboring points, no matter how much we zoom, that’s our estimate. Why do we need limits? Math has “black hole” scenarios (dividing by zero, going to infinity), and limits give us a reasonable estimate. How do we know we’re right? We don’t. Our prediction, the limit, isn’t required to match reality. But for most natural phenomena, it sure seems to. Limits let us ask “What if?”. If we can directly observe a function at a value (like x=0, or x growing infinitely), we don’t need a prediction. The limit wonders, “If you can see everything except a single value, what do you think is there?”. When our prediction is consistent and improves the closer we look, we feel confident in it. And if the function behaves smoothly, like most real ­world functions do, the limit is where the missing point must be. Key Analogy: Predicting A Soccer Ball (associated pics in original post) Pretend you’re watching a soccer game. Unfortunately, the connection is choppy: So we missed what happened at 4:00. Even so, what’s your prediction for the ball’s position? Easy. Just grab the neighboring instants (3:59 and 4:01) and predict the ball to be somewhere in­ between. And… it works! Real ­world objects don’t teleport? they move through intermediate positions along their path from A to B. Our prediction is “At 4:00, the ball was between its position at 3:59 and 4:01?. Not bad. With a slow ­motion camera, we might even say “At 4:00, the ball was between its positions at 3:59.999 and 4:00.001?. Limits are a strategy for making confident predictions. Limits aren’t the only tool for checking the answers to impossible questions; infinitesimals work too. The key is understanding what we’re trying to predict, then learning the rules of making predictions. Happy math. (Original author - Mr. kalid ) Original post link: http://betterexplained.com/articles/an-intuitive-introduction-to-limits/ My profile link: https://www.urbanpro.com/delhi/pankaj-k/2531974 You may find more interesting stuff and information that can be of some help to you. I will be adding more pdfs in gallery soon . Sharing is caring.
If one wants the pdf in my galley on 'limits' can give a better understanding of the same material.

sin4x+Cos4x?
We Know that, Sin^2(x) + Cos^2(x) = 1 Squaring on both sides Sin^4(x) + Cos^4(x) + 2Sin^2(x)Cos^2(x) = 1 {Using (a + b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab } Sin^4(x) + Cos^4(x) = 1 - 2Sin^2(x)Cos^2(x)
