I swear my physics prof claimed one of these didn’t exist as a force – I think it was centripetal. But that was a long time ago. Maybe it was discovered recently. Such confuse.
They’re the same force as viewed from two different frames of reference. Spin a rope with a weighted end and centrifugal force will have the rock pull the rope tight. But from the perspective of the rock, it’s the rope pulling on the rock. Not the other way around.
