Centrifugal force is considered fictitious because it appears to act on objects moving in a curved path, pushing them away from the center of rotation.
- However, it's actually an apparent force that arises from the inertia of the object in motion, rather than a force exerted by a physical object.
- In reality, it's the result of inertia trying to keep an object moving in a straight line while it's forced to follow a curved path.
Example:
- Imagine you're in a car making a sharp turn to the right.
- As the car turns, you feel like you're being pushed towards the left side of the car, away from the center of the turn.
- This sensation is similar to what we perceive as centrifugal force.
- However, in reality, there's no force pushing you outward.
- Instead, it's your body's inertia trying to keep you moving in a straight line while the car turns, causing you to feel this apparent force pushing you outward.
