True. Centrifugal force is often referred to as a "fictional" or "pseudo" force because it is not an actual force that arises from an interaction between objects. Instead, it is a perceived force that is experienced in a rotating reference frame. In a rotating system, observers in the rotating frame may feel as though they are being pushed outward, but this sensation is due to inertia. From an inertial (non-accelerating) reference frame, the actual force at play is the centripetal force, which acts inward towards the center of rotation.
Centrifugal force is a fictional force. True or false
