| Jan 21, 2019 at 9:43 | comment | added | Cyclone | Firstly, formally, the term enters as a centrifugal force since we are located in a rotating coordinate system: the time rate of change we observe in a rotating frame of reference is different from what it would be in an inertial frame. This additional time rate of change in the velocity field is given by the Coriolis and centrifugal forces. Here, the cause of rotation is simply that we're in Earth' frame, which rotates. The true reason why we rotate with Earth is finally gravity and the friction with the ground, but we do not care about that here. It's different from a mass on a string! | |

| Jan 14, 2019 at 5:58 | comment | added | user66043 | my understanding is that the centrifugal force is associated with a rotating coordinate system and hence not real. The centripetal force on the other hand is associated with an object forced to move around a circle and hence very much real. | |
| Jan 14, 2019 at 1:32 | comment | added | user66043 | Thanks. What about my other question ? Is it centripetal or centrifugal ? | |

| Jan 13, 2019 at 13:19 | comment | added | user66043 | quick question on the cylostrophic balance - is the balance between pressure gradient and centripetal force or centrifugal force ? | |
