Correct vs Incorrect Thinking: Is Centrifugal Force Real?

Correct vs Incorrect Thinking: Is Centrifugal Force Real?

The map in words

  • Object in Circular Motion
    • Which Frame of Reference?
      • Inertial Frame Outside: Only Centripetal Force Exists
        • Real Force: Tension Gravity Friction
          • Net Force Inward = mv squared divided by r
            • Body Moves in Circle
        • Centrifugal Force Does NOT Exist Here
      • Non-Inertial Frame Inside Rotating System: Centrifugal Force Appears
        • Centrifugal Force is Pseudo Fictitious
          • Same Magnitude as Centripetal Force
            • Only Felt by Observer Inside Rotating Frame
        • NOT Reaction to Centripetal Force
          • Action-Reaction Pairs Act on Different Bodies
