plz explain pseudo forces with some examples

OpenStudy (anonymous):

quite difficult to explain without an example, so consider a situation "u r sitting inside a bus viz moving with some acceleration and observing a stationary bicycle u may found out that it is moving backward at an increasing speed" and have suffered acceleration in your reference frame so that pseudo acceleration is because of the pseudo force

OpenStudy (ghazi):

Such an additional force due to nonuniform relative motion of two reference frames is called a pseudo-force, it is an apparent force that acts on all masses in a non-inertial frame of reference, such as a rotating reference frame. a freefalling observer in a closed box would not be able to detect the force of gravity; hence, freefalling reference frames are equivalent to an inertial reference frame (the equivalence principle) Basically, sometimes we consider pseudo force just to balance the system . it is not a real force it is just a fictional force.
