Question
Which of the following is NOT an example of centrifugal force at work?
Hint:
Centrifugal force is a force, arising from the body's inertia, which appears to act on a body moving in a circular path
The correct answer is:
Centrifugal force is a force, arising from the body's inertia, which appears to act on a body moving in a circular path and is directed away from the centre around which the body is moving.
A train travelling on a straight track is not an example of centrifugal force
