The car acts on the pipe and the pipe reacts with an equal and
opposite force. If the reaction is real (not fictitious) then
the action is also real in my frame of reference. We need a

What is wrong with CENTRIFUGAL?
I think the word centrifugal is already used, for the case of analysis in a

use of that word violates your admonition to not use a word already used.
Why not call that reaction force the *normal* force of the wheels of the car
acting on the pipe?
