diff between centrifugal and centripetal forces... thank you

Centripetal force

Centrifugal force

Centripetal force is the force or component of force acting on an object when the object is in curvilinear motion. Centripetal force is directed towards the centre of curvature of curved path.

Centrifugal force is a pseudo force acting on an object in a circular motion. Centrifugal force acts along the radial direction away from centre.

 

Centripetal force is observed by observer who is not in contact with object

 

Centrifugal force is observed by observer when he himself is travelling in curved path.

 

When a car is moving in a curved path , a force directed towards center of curvature , i.e. centripetal force will maintain the circular  motion along the curved path . This force can be either friction force between tyres and ground  or component of normal force due to banking of road.

 

 

When a car is moving in a curved path, passenger experience an outward push . This is due to centrifugal force acting on passenegers.

a ball is tied at one end of a string, the other end is tied at the centre of the merry go round. if the string breaks, the person standing outside the merry go round will observe that the ball is moving in a straight line, whereas the person standing on the merry go round observes that the ball always remains in front of him radially away from him. explain the reason for each. how is centrifugal force acting in the second case?
