Answer 1

$\Large\bold{\underline{\underline{Answer:-}}}$

✭Centripital Force :

• Centripetal Force is the force which acts inwards or towards the center of the ciurved path which a particle follows.
• Isaac Newton 's description was: "A centripetal force is that by which bodies are drawn or impelled, or in any way tend, towards a point as to a centre."
• Example can be our solar system where sun's gravitational force holds earth and other planets in their orbit.This gravitational force is nothing but centripetal force.

✭Centrifugal Force :

• Centrifugal Force is the force due to inertia of the particle moving in a curved path which is exerted outwards or away from the centre of the curved path.
• It is arises from the Newton’s law of inertia i.e. everybody resists the change in its state of rest or motion.
• For example when we are moving by a car and if suddenly our car turns at some curved path we experience a force outwards or away from from our either side.

Answer 2

Centripetal Force

A force acting on a moving body at an angle to the direction of motion, tending to make the body follow a circular or curved path.

Example

• The force of gravity acting on a satellite in orbit is an example of a centripetal force.

• The friction of the tires of a car making a turn similarly provides centripetal force on the car.

Centrifugal Force

Centrifugal force is the tendency of an object moving in a circle to travel away from the center of the circle.

Centrifugal force is what makes a propeller blade fly off if it breaks at the root.

Centrifugal force is the outward force, away from the axis of rotation, acting on a revolving object.

Example

• Merry-go-rounds are a perfect example of how a force is used to keep an object moving in a circular path.

• Your body wanted to fly off the Merry-go-round in a straight line, but your hands exerted an opposing force to keep you on.
