| centrifugal force |
The apparent force in a rotating system, deflecting masses radially outward from the axis of rotation, with magnitude per unit mass 2 R, where is the angular speed of rotation and R is the radius of curvature of the path. This magnitude may also be written as V 2 /R, in terms of the linear speed V. This force (per unit mass) is equal and opposite to the centripetal acceleration. ...

| centripetal acceleration |
The acceleration on a particle moving in a curved path, directed toward the instantaneous center of curvature of the path, with magnitude V 2 /R, where V is the speed of the particle and R the radius of curvature of the path. This acceleration is equal and opposite to the centrifugal force per unit mass.

| centrifuge |
A device in which solid or liquid particles of different densities are separated by rotating them in a tube in a horizontal circle. The denser particles tend to move along the length of the tube to a greater radius of rotation, displacing the lighter particles to the other end.
