Question

What is the difference between centripetal acceleration and centrifugal force?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

➡️ Centripetal force refers to a force that causes a body to move in circular motion. In comparison, centrifugal force tries to push a body away from the circular motion.

Hence, the centripetal force provides an acceleration (towards the center) to a body and this acceleration is known as the centripetal acceleration.
