Or as simple minded as Gloop. There IS no such thing as "centrigugal force". It is important to note that the centrifugal force does not actually exist. phun.physics.virginia.edu The IS such a thing as centripetal force. regentsprep.org It is directed inward, toward the center of rotation of the system. For example, if a ball is twirled at the end of a string. the string exerts a centripetal force on the ball to keep in from following its velocity vector an the moment a flying off in a direction tangent to the circle it is making.
