  1. In everyday understanding, the effect that tends to move an object away from the center of a circle it is rotating about (a consequence of inertia). Tags: countable, uncountable
    Sense id: en-centrifugal_force-en-noun-VE3WW-Ti
  2. (physics) In a rotating reference frame, the apparent force that seems to push all bodies away from the centre of rotation of the frame and is a consequence of the body's mass and the frame's angular speed. It works in conjunction with the Coriolis force to give correct motion. Tags: countable, uncountable Categories (topical): Physics, Acceleration
