Answer:

F = centrifugal force

m = mass

w = angular velocity

r = distance from the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

centrifugal force, a fictitious force, peculiar to a particle moving on a circular path, that has the same magnitude and dimensions as the force that keeps the particle on its circular path (the centripetal force) but points in the opposite direction.
