A force is a push or a pull on an object from its interaction with another object. Rather, centrifugal force is the result of inertia. Essentially, for an object moving in a circle, centrifugal force is the apparent force outward on the object and centripetal force is the inward force on the object. 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. 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.
