First off, there is no such animal as
the Centrifugal force or
the Centripetal force, there are merely centrifugal and centripetal forces.
Centrifugal means " to flee the center" and Centripetal means "to seek the center"
They are just terms used to decribe whether any given force acts towards or away from a center.
