centrifugal force is a sufficient pseudo force, only, if we r analyzing the the particle at rest in a uniformly rotating frame. If we analyze the motion of a particle that moves in a rotating frame, we may, have to assume other pseudo forces, together with the centrifugal force. Such forces r called coriollis forces. The coriollis force is perpendicular to the velocity of the particle and also perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the frame. Once again , we emphasize that all these pseudo forces, centrifugal or coriollis, r needed only if the working frame is rotating. If we work from an inertial frame, there is no need to apply any pseudo force.
