Fictitious forces, also known as pseudo forces, are apparent forces that are not the result of any physical interaction but instead arise due to the acceleration of the reference frame from which the motion is being observed. They are observed in non-inertial frames of reference, where the observer's frame is accelerating, rotating, or otherwise not in uniform motion. One common example of a fictitious force is the centrifugal force experienced by an object being observed in a rotating frame of reference.
