When a car travels around a curve, due to inertia, a person in the car has a tendency to move in a straight - line path. In the non - inertial frame of the car (which is accelerating as it goes around the curve), this gives the sensation of a force pushing outward. This is a fictitious force. Centrifugal force is the name given to this fictitious force that acts outward in a rotating (or in this case, a curving path which is a form of circular - like motion in a non - inertial frame).
