What is the difference between centripetal acceleration and centrifugal force?

Ain't you got a baby mama? Ain't you the same nikka that was flashing his money talkin' bout trapping making you real money?

And you out here tricking spending over $400 on dates breh. nikka you could have bought you a PS4 with that money :snoop:

Edit: This nikka changed the thread title and took down the pic. He had bubble guts from steak he ate at an expensive ass dinner date he spent $362 on (allegedly).

Thread title was something like "I got food poisoning so I couldn't smash".

centripetal force is the force needed for an object to move in a circular path, and continue to move in that path (once the centripetal force is lost the object will move in a straight line). It points towards the center of the circle

centrifugal is the force that acts away from the center but its almost never considered if you're doing physics problems and shyt ive never had to worry about it

centripetal is force moving away from the source and centrifugal is force moving toward the source.

I might have it backwards

This covers centripetal acceleration, covered in Mechanics I, otherwise known as introductory Physics.

The only thing I know about centrifugal force from my studies is that it can be used to propel a system (centrifugal fan) and more importantly, it can be used as a liquid-liquid or liquid-solid separation technique, something about specific gravity and high flow rates.
