What is Pseudo force?
What is Pseudo force? Asked Rahul Answer: The word pseudo means false. Remmeber pseudopodia, the false legs of amoeba.(Also called fictitious force,or phantom force) An additional force due to nonuniform relative motion of two reference frames is called a pseudo-force. A pseudoforce does not arise from any physical interaction between two objects, but rather from the acceleration a of the non-inertial reference frame itself. A fictitious force on an object arises when the frame of reference used to describe the object’s motion is accelerating compared to a non-accelerating frame.

What is pseudo force
What is pseudo force when it is applied ?
Asked Niharika Dinkar
Answer:
Pseudo force is also called fictitious force.
A fictitious force arises when a frame of reference is accelerating compared to a non-accelerating frame.
For example if you consider a person standing at a bus stop watching an accelerating car, he infers that a force is exerted on the car and it is accelerating. Here there is no problem and the pseudoforce concept is not required
But, if the person inside the accelerating car is looking at the person standing at the bus stop, he finds (more…)
