A real force arises from a physical interaction; a pseudo force arises only from analysing motion in a non-inertial (accelerating) frame of reference.

A REAL force originates in a genuine physical interaction (gravitational, electromagnetic, contact/normal, tension, friction) and exists in every frame of reference. A PSEUDO (fictitious) force has no interaction behind it — it is introduced only when Newton's laws are applied inside a NON-INERTIAL (accelerating or rotating) frame, with magnitude (mass)×(frame's acceleration) and direction opposite to it. The centrifugal force of this chapter is the standard application: in the frame rotating with a revolving body, the outward …
