Question

State whether true or false.

The centrifugal force acting on a body moving in a circular motion is greater than the centripetal force acting on it.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Centrifugal force acting on the body is a pseudo force created due to the centripetal acceleration, so it is equivalent, in magnitude, to the force which is responsible for the acceleration in the first place i.e., the centripetal force.
