While going for a ride in merry-go-round you experience an outward pull, this pull is due to

The correct option is Centrifugal Force Key Points

• On an object travelling in a circle, the centrifugal force is an apparent outward force.
• The sensation you get while riding a merry-go-round that makes you want to fly outwards is an illustration of centrifugal force.

Additional InformationCentripetal Force:

• The force applied to an item in curved motion that is pointed toward the axis of rotation or the centre of curvature is known as a centripetal force.
• From an inertial point of view, it is observed.

The formula for Centripetal Force:

\(F = {{mv^2} \over r}\)

F - Centripetal force

m - a mass of the body

v - velocity of the object

r - radius of rotation. 

Centrifugal Force:

• A fictitious force that moves in a circle and is directed away from the centre of the circle is called centrifugal force.
• From a non-inertial point of view, it is noticed.
• The formula of centrifugal force sam as a centripetal force only opposite in direction so we use a negative sign.
• \(F = -{{mv^2} \over r}\)

Examples:

• On a Banked road, a centrifugal force tends to push the car toward the outside edge of the road as it moves forward quickly.
• The tangential speed of the earth's rotation and the centrifugal force is directly inversely proportional. At the equator, the centrifugal force is most intensely felt.
