Overview:

The phenomenon in which an object moves away from the center of a circle when a centrifuge is rotating is called centrifugal motion, or simply centrifugal effect.

The centrifugal force of a centrifuge: When the external force acting on an object is less than the centripetal force required for its motion, the object will move away from the center of the circle. This phenomenon—where an object moves away from the center of the circle—is known as centrifugal motion, or simply centrifugal effect. Centrifugal motion occurs when the centripetal force either disappears entirely or becomes insufficient.

Relative centrifugal force: In a centrifugal field, the centrifugal force acting on a particle is equivalent to a multiple of Earth's gravitational acceleration, with the unit being the acceleration due to gravity, "g".
