16. Centripetal vs. Centrifugal Acceleration and Force Inertial vs. Noninertial reference frames Inertial vs. Noninertial reference frames F c is a net force – not an action/reaction force F c is a net force – not an action/reaction force Therefore, centrifugal force does not exist! Therefore, centrifugal force does not exist!

17. Centripetal Force Centripetal means “center-seeking” Centripetal means “center-seeking” It’s the force that holds an object in its circular path. It’s the force that holds an object in its circular path. The centripetal force is always directed towards the center of a rotating object. The centripetal force is always directed towards the center of a rotating object. Centripetal force is the TRUE FORCE! Centripetal force is the TRUE FORCE!

18. Centrifugal F o rce Centrifugal means “center-fleeing” Centrifugal means “center-fleeing” It’s the “force” that pulls you away from the center. It’s the “force” that pulls you away from the center. It’s the “force” you feel when a car takes a curve or when you’re spinning on an amusement park ride. It’s the “force” you feel when a car takes a curve or when you’re spinning on an amusement park ride. In reality, if the centripetal force were to disappear, you would fly off tangent to the circle because no force was acting on you, not because the centrifugal “force” pulled you away. In reality, if the centripetal force were to disappear, you would fly off tangent to the circle because no force was acting on you, not because the centrifugal “force” pulled you away. Centrifugal force is NOT A TRUE FORCE! Centrifugal force is NOT A TRUE FORCE!

19. Centripetal Acceleration/Force
