A particle of mass m is observed from an inertial frame of reference and is found to move in a circle of radius r with a uniform speed v.
A particle of mass m is observed from an inertial frame of reference and is found to move in a circle of radius r with a uniform speed v. The centrifugal force on it is
(a) mv2/r towards the centre
(b) mv2/r away from the centre
(c) mv2/r along the tangent through the particle
(d) zero.

(d) zero.
Explanation:
Centrifugal force is a pseudo force needed in an non-inertial frame of reference when we still want to use the Newton's Laws. In this case the frame of reference is inertial, so there is no centrifugal force,
