What is a pseudo force?

Open in App
Solution

A pseudo force, also called a fictitious force or an inertial force, is an apparent force that acts on all bodies whose motion is described using a non-inertial frame of reference, such as a rotating reference frame. A pseudo force arises when a frame of reference is accelerating compared to a non-accelerating frame.
