..and perhaps just to muddy the waters here a bit:
Doesn't "centrifugal" just mean "away from the center" (or from the Latin
"fleeing" the center)?
Even in the laboratory (inertial) frame, if there is a centripetal force,
by N3
there would have to be a centrifugal force. (or are we all assuming that
we
are talking only about forces acting on the object moving in a circle?)
Even so, why would anyone argue that there is no such thing as centrifugal
force?
