In a closed moving train, moving with uniform velocity with respect to an observer on a station, the person in the train - here after we shall denote the person by the symbol A- will not know that he is moving.
A bob suspended by as string from the ceiling of the train will be vertical to the floor of the train.
Suppose the train now begins to accelerate. The bob will turn through an angle θ to the vertical. Since the train is a close one, A will infer from this this change in the vertical direction that his train is accelerating. He can calculate the acceleration from the angle and hence he will apply a force equal to mass times this acceleration to all the objects in his train.
This force is not the result of reaction force as far as A is concerned To apply Newton's laws of motion which is for inertial frames of reference, A applies this force to all objects in his train and thus makes his frame equivalent to an inertial frame.
This force which is not as a result of action reaction force [ with respect to A] is called pseudo force.

What did Newton formulated about unbalanced forces?
Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Now when we rotate a stone tied to a string we see that we are applying force to make the stone rotate but again this force should cause the stone to move towards the center as there is no other force to balance it. But it doesn't. Thats where a mysterious force called a pseudo force comes in. Pseudo force as it doesn't exist in reality and we assume its just there because the third law predicts it so. Its called the centrifugal force.
What is pseudo-opcodes?

Why is the unit of CMRR?
pseudo
What is a pseudo-wife?
Fake wife
What are pseudo vacuoles?
its like the waste basket of a cell
Why you need pseudo force?
pseudo force is a force which is not real (or) A force whose direction is determined conventionally or by custom is called a pseudo force.
Is centri petal force pseudo force?
No. The centrifugal force is a pseudoforce or a ficticious force; the centripetal force is a real force.
Is gravity a pseudo force?
No. Gravity produces real forces.
What is the meaning of centripetal force?
Answer It is the force which keeps a body moving in circular motion. Centripetal force is the force that acts opposite to cetrifugal force. Centripetal force is a real force. Centrifugal force is a pseudo-force
Can you distinguish between real force and pseudo force?
Real forces have its origin in matter such as electricity,gravitation etc.Pseudo force is caused by inertial motion such as centrifugal force.
Why is centrifugal force called a pseudo force?
This is because it is not a force. It is a reflection of newtons 1st law, any object will continue along it path in a straight line unless another force acts on it. So when an object is constrained to rotate around a point, a circular path, it at all times will try to 'fly off' on along a tangent (a straight line from where it is now). This is what is called centrifugal forces. The only real force that acts is centripetal force, which is the force required to keep the object on circular path. This force acts directly towards the centre of the circle about which the object rotates. That is to say to keep the body in the place , where it is, and to balance the centripetal force, centrifugal force comes into play. it has no cause of existence without centripetal force,hence it is called pseudo force. Alternate answer: Centrifugal force is not a pseudo force. It is called a pseudo force because some neglect the vector derivative. Centrifugal force comes from the vector derivative of the vector energy Ev= mcV. The centrifugal force is f = - mcDel.V. The minus sign indicates motion away from the center, center fleeing , centrifugal.

Meaning of pseudo?
Pseudo means "Fake"
How Centrifugal force works?
Relax. It doesn't exist. If you prefer not to fight with the people who insist that it does, but at the same time remain true to your convictions, a nice non-confrontational way to do that is to refer to it as a "pseudo-force".
What part of speech is the word pseudo?
Pseudo is an adjective.
What is a Pseudo Listening?
Pseudo Listening =Fake Listening
Is centrifugal force a pseudo force?
Yes. Sort of. If you consider the rotating system from the point of view of somebody OUTSIDE the system (not participating in the rotation), no "centrifugal force" is required to explain anything; there is an unbalanced centripetal (center-seeking) force, which accelerates whatever rotates, toward the center.
