Centrifugal force is a fictitious force that appears to act on an object moving in a circular path. It is the apparent outward - acting force on a body moving around a center, arising from the body's inertia and from the mutual gravitational force acting on the body and the center. It is related to the object's tendency to move in a straight line (inertia).
