The other case of a moving frame of reference studied here is: . ... That is a force towards the center of rotation, of magnitude F centripetal = mV 2 / R where R is the radius of the circle of rotation and V is the velocity of motion around it. ... However, most people are aware of the outwards-pushing centrifugal force, the force which flings you away from the center of rotation in a car speeding around a corner. ...
