Consider the following two statements A and B and identify the correct choice in the given choices:
A) Centripetal force, centrifugal force are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction but they are not force of action and force of reaction respectively because both act on same body.
B ) Centrifugal force is a pseudo force in both inertial frame of reference and non inertial frame of reference.

Solution

The correct option is B A is true and B is false
(A) Action - reaction act as a pair on different bodies. They are same in magnitude and opposite in direction.
(B) For a person in non - inertial frame, centrifugal force is a real force, whereas for a person in inertial frame, it is a pseudo force.

Centripetal force is present in both inertial and non inertial frame of reference then how centrifugal force is only present in non inertial frame of reference, it simply means that it is absent in inertial frame of reference , is it true?

Q. Assertion :When a stationary object is observed from rotating frame of reference, the object is seen to rotate in the reverse direction with the same angular velocity as that of the frame. Reason: Rotating frame of reference is non-inertial frame and from this frame we have to apply a centrifugal force which balances the centripetal force.
