Centrifugal Force Definition

Quick fact

Centrifugal force isn't a real force but rather the result of inertia in rotating systems, making it seem like there's an outward pull on objects.

Why this is interesting

Ever wondered why you feel pushed outward when spinning in a car? That sensation is due to centrifugal force — an apparent force that seems to push objects away from the center of rotation.
