The centrifugal force is a high centrifical force generated by the high speeds in a centrifuge. A simple example is the force that pushes clothes to the side of the drum in a newer clothes washer's spin cycle. These H.e. models spin faster than the older ones.

Centrifugal force is fictitious force, peculiar to circular motion, that is equal but opposite to the centripetal force that keeps a particle on a circular path

For example, when you are driving and you come across a tight curve, if you go too fast, you will go off the road because of your momentum that is built up going in one direction. This is why they tell people to slow down when going around a tight curve. However, not very many people take this seriously, and they learn the hard way.

For example, your washing mashine, when it spins to take most of the water out of the clothing.

Centrifugal force isn't actually a force. It is an effect caused by a centripetal force.

Sat for example you are on a roundabout at a park spinning - the centripetal force constraining you in circular motion is the tension in your arms, gripping the bar at the center - the force is towards the center and perpendicular to the motion - your body wants to follow a straight line path at a tangent tithe circle (as it would do if you let go) However people wod say there is a a centrifugal force causing you to feel like you're flying outwards. This is not scientifically correct.

The centrifugal force is an apparent (ficticious) force, caused by a rotational movement. The amount of the apparent centrifugal force can be calculated by the same formula as the amount of the real centripetal force.

What is the uses of centrifugation machine?

There are many types of centrifuge machines. Such a machine has a rotating unit into which some object or materials are placed. The material will then be subjected to the sentrifugal force that pushes the material out to the periphery. A common type of use is to separate components in a blending of materials. The densest components will feel a greater force per volume unit than the other components and will be forced more to the periphery where they can be taken out, either during the centrifugal action or from the material afterwards. In other cases some components are more bulky than the others and will not move, while the less bulky components will move to the periphery. A washing machine is also a centrifuge machine. The sentrifugal action is used to separete the water from the clothes after the wash. The water is both less bulky and more dense than the clothes and will therefore run out through holes in the periphery.

Is centri petal force pseudo force?

No. The centrifugal force is a pseudoforce or a ficticious force; the centripetal force is a real force.

What is the difference between the input force and output force?

The difference between and input force and an output force is that an output force is force exerted by a machine, and an input force is force exerted on a machine.

Are centrifugal force and Reactive Centrifugal force the same thing?

Reactive centrifugal force is not the same thing as centrifugal force. Reactive centrifugal force is the reaction force. It is the reaction force reacting to a centripetal force.


Electric force is a contact force or force at a distance?

Electric force is a force at a distance, not a contact force. It is a fundamental force of nature that acts between charged particles without the need for physical contact. The strength of the electric force is determined by the magnitude of the charges and the distance between them.
