Question

Give any two examples of centrifugal force.

✓

Answer

Examples of centrifugal force:
1. A person in a merry-go-round experiences a radially outward force.
2. Passengers of a car taking a turn on a level road experience a force radially away from the centre of the circular road.
3. A coin on a rotating turntable flies off for some high enough angular speed of the turntable.
4. As the Earth rotates about its axis, the centrifugal force on its particles is directed away from the axis. The force increases as one goes from the poles towards the equator. This leads to the bulging of the Earth at the equator.
