Today we talked about what centrifugal force is and where it comes from. Remember, centrifugal force isn't a true force, but a consequence of a rotating reference frame. It always points away from the center of the circle.
We saw a demonstration of centrifugal force and watched some clips from 2001: A Space Odyssey to see examples of the use of centrifugal force as artificial gravity.
