===Centrifugal force=== {{main|Centrifugal force}} In [[classical mechanics]], ''centrifugal force'' is an outward force associated with [[rotation]]. Centrifugal force is one of several so-called [[pseudo-force]]s (also known as [[inertial force]]s), so named because, unlike [[Fundamental interaction|real forces]], they do not originate in interactions with other bodies situated in the environment of the particle upon which they act. Instead, centrifugal force originates in the rotation of the frame of reference within which observations are made.<ref>{{cite book |title=Physics |author=Robert Resnick |author2=David Halliday |name-list-style=amp |page=[https://archive.org/details/physics00resn/page/121 121] |date=1966 |url=https://archive.org/details/physics00resn |url-access=registration |publisher=Wiley |isbn=0-471-34524-5 }}</ref><!-- --><ref name=Marsden>{{cite book |title=Introduction to Mechanics and Symmetry: A Basic Exposition of Classical Mechanical Systems |author=Jerrold E.
