Centrifugal Force

Centrifugal force is an inertial force which is a direct consequence of Newton's first law of motion. It arises as a result of the tendency of a body, in the absence of any external forces (apart from the inertial forces), to follow a uniform straight line path. The centrifugal force is best observed in rotating systems such as in a centrifuge or in planetary orbits.
