Centrifugal force comes into play when an object is in circular motion. This process involves inertia, which is an object’s natural tendency to remain at rest or move in a straight line.
When an object moves in a circle, it experiences a continuous change in direction. However, its inertia makes it strive to continue moving in a straight line. Simultaneously, the force directing the object to move in a circle pushes it outward, away from the center of rotation. This outward-pushing force is known as centrifugal force.
The magnitude of the centrifugal force depends on several factors: • The mass of the object (in this case, air). • The radius of the circle in which the air is moving – reducing the radius increases the force. • The speed of rotation – a higher speed results in a greater centrifugal force.
