<human>:  What is the difference between centripetal and centrifugal force?
<bot>: The difference between centripetal and centrifugal force is that centripetal force is an inward-directed force that acts on an object to make it move in a circular path, while centrifugal force is an outward-directed force that is the reaction to centripetal force and is felt as the object tries to move away from the center of the circle.
