I am a university educated (primarily sciences), middle aged dude and I still cannot understand the difference between these 2 forces / phenomena.
In: Physics
so basically centripetal force pulls stuff towards the center like a friend pulling you in during a game of tug-o-war. centrifugal force is like the feeling you get when you’re spinning around and want to fly off into space. one is the force keeping you in check while the other is just your body’s reaction to the spin. kinda like when i try to keep my room clean but gravity is just like nah
