Solution

Yes, a pseudo force is an apparent force introduced when studying motion from a non-inertial, or accelerating, frame of reference.

Origin of pseudo force: It arises because the frame of reference itself is accelerating.

Applications of pseudo force: It is used to analyse motion in accelerating lifts, buses, trains, rotating systems and vehicles taking turns. Centrifugal force is an example of a pseudo force.
