+A **fictitious force** is an apparent force that appears to act on masses within a [non-inertial frame](/wiki/non-inertial_frame) of reference. It is not a real interaction but an artifact of the accelerating coordinate system, vanishing when viewed from an [inertial frame](/wiki/inertial_frame). These forces help explain motion in rotating or accelerating systems.
