Jay,

Just calling a spade a spade.

A "centrifugal force" is the VERY REAL inertial force that pushes/pulls the driver, or the car, or anything else, outwards (ie. = "centre-fleeing") when going around a corner.

An interesting example of how far the Education system has spiralled down the S-bend is the fact that nowadays most Schools teach their students that such "inertial forces" are NOT REAL, or are FICTITIOUS, or have some other lame name to suggest that they are somehow lesser than the other "real" forces.

Is that what you are suggesting?

The really funny part is when you ask the, ahem, "Teachers" to explain their reasoning behind that ideology. Wow, such poor clarity of thought!!! (Followed by much on my part.)

If anyone cares to give their arguments for why "inertial forces" are NOT real, then please do!
