    centrifigal force is the energy generated by a object that is spinning.Like the spin dryer in a washing machine,all objects inside the cylinder are forced towards the outer wall of the cylinder.

    I learned this the hard way, my teacher ask me this in class 50yr ago, when I hesitated to answer he told me to get up and run around the room as I did he ask me what I was experiencing.


    Embarrassing but I never forgot.

    centrifugal force is the outside force created by spinning an object, example, if you fill a bucket with water and swing it around your head, the water will stay in the bucket-- this is caused by centrifugal force.

    I think you are asking about the "Centrifugal force".


    We called it as the "fictitious force" because it is the counter part of "Centripetal force"


    Usually, this force comes into play when a body revolves around the orbit with respect to another body.


    It is acted upon the body outside i.e. it acts away from the center of the body.


    For example, when you revolve the stone tied with a string, in some moment it try to go away from the center of the body i.e. it acts outward.


    So, we can define the Centrifugal force as " The force which acts away from the center of the body".


    Now share the idea with your friends too.
