What is Pseudoforce?
In: 4
A force that feels like it exists but doesn’t. The classic example is centrifugal force, the outward force you feel when going in a circle or making a sharp turn, it doesn’t exist. When you drive around a sharp turn you are initially moving in a straight line, as you turn the car is now moving in a different direction but your body is still moving in a straight line and so the car/seatbelt has to exert a force towards the center of the circle to change your direction, that is centripetal force it is real. But you fell like you are being pulled outward because of your own inertia, there is no centrifugal force pulling you outward it is a psudoforce or fictitious force.
