Message: [QUOTE="Ace McCool, post: 219296, member: 18271"] Centrifugal force is simply the force felt by an object when centripetal force is actually occurring. Centripetal force is the force that acts on an object changing direction as it is continually being pulled toward the center of the circle. When a car goes around a turn and you get pushed against the door, it is actually the door that is pushing on you. Your body is trying to go in a straight line, but the vehicle's door is occupying the space where your body is trying to go, thus you feel the force of the car moving into you, but from your standpoint it seems that you are moving into the car. What does this mean? Nothing really I hate to be such a nerd on a dirt bike site :confused: [/QUOTE]
