Centrifugal force is the outward-pushing force felt by bodies moving in a circular motion. However, there is no outward force acting, and centrifugal force is therefore known as a "fictitious" force. The outward-pushing force is due to the combined effect of inertia and an inward-pushing external force. For example, although a passenger may feel pushed outward when traveling in a turning car, it is in fact the car that is pushing the passenger inward, while inertia is resisting that change in direction. Centrifugal force arises when rotating objects are observed from the rotating frame of reference, an accelerating and therefore non-inertial frame of reference in which
Newton's laws of motion do not hold. Centrifugal force is often confused with centripetal force.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
While attending
The Ohio State Univerisity as an undergraduate, I was a teaching assistant for an introductory physiology class for seven semesters. Informally, I have assisted my peers in learning anything from organic chemistry to anatomy.
EXTRACURRICULAR INTERESTS
I am currently enrolled as a first year medical student, and I am hoping to one day pursue a career in surgery. I have always enjoyed teaching and sharing my knowledge with others!
Outside of academics, I am a self taught guitar player, political junkie, and stock market enthusiast.
