The physically apparent but nonexistent force needed by an observer in a noninertial frame to make Newton's laws of motion hold true. The centrifugal force is a pseudo force. Also called fictitious force.

HAHAHA u don't have to think what Einstein said....Pseudo force isn't real force.It comes into existence only when you are moving.Suppose you are travelling by bus and u see trees and other objects moving in opposite direction it appears to u as if u r static and the objects outside are moving due to some force which do not exist in reality.This force is called Pseudo force.

keep a small block on an inclined wedge. Now the block will slide down. Apply some force and move the wedge horizontally so that the block doesn't slide down. The force applied by you to move the wedge is a real force and force that prevents the block from sliding down is a pseudo force

What is the difference between the force the wind has on a tree. And the force your mother has when she gives you the evil eye. One is an actual physical force you can feel. The other is a mental force that only the one it was intended for can feel.
