What is Centrifugal Force in Physics

Centrifugal Force in Physics

 

Definition:

 

A force supposed to act radically outward on a body moving in a curve is known as centrifugal force.

 

Explanation:

 

Centrifugal force is actually a reaction to the centripetal force. It is a well-known a fact that Fc is directed towards the centre of the circle, so the centrifugal force, which is a force of reaction, is directed away from the centre of the circle or the curved path.

 

According To Newton’s Third law of motion action and reaction do not act on the same body, so the centrifugal force does not act on the body moving round a circle, but it acts on the body that provides Fc.

 

Examples:

 

  1. If a stone is tied to one end of a string and it is moved round a circle, then the force exerted on the string on outward direction is called centrifugal force.

 

  1. The airplane moving in a circle exerts force in a direction opposite to the pressure of air.

 

  1. When a Train rounds a curve, the centrifugal force is also exerted on the track.

 

Note: One of the positive results of the social changes that have occurred in Russia over the past two decades has been the opportunity, without much trouble, to go abroad. Some people go to Europe, Asia, the United States to spend a vacation there, others go to work, others are ready to move abroad to live there permanently. But there is one more possibility – this is studying abroad. In a word, for those people who want to take care of their future or the future of their children in advance, education abroad is the best option for education, which will soon justify the costs and return the person in full. Thus, obtaining a diploma abroad is a kind of guarantee that his lucky owner will not have problems with employment both abroad and at home.
