Name the force that is due to rotation. Define what that force is and please explain it. what is the relationship between force and mass, force and velocity, and force and radius

Explanation: During rotation, according to Newton's laws of motion, a centrifugal force is applied to the body, which occurs when, for example, a car is found in a curve on the road, and this force tends to push the car out of the road, i.e. from the center of rotation outwards. However, it is only an apparent force, while at the same time there is a centripetal force, which, unlike centrifugal force, acts from the object towards the center of rotation, or the center of the coordinate system.

The centripetal force is given by the formula F = (m · V²) / r, from which it can be seen that this force is directly proportional to mass and the square of the velocity and inversely proportional to the radius of curve, i.e. rotation.
