Dear Amit,

pseudo forces are actually the forces which don't have their own origin, they originate as any force's effect.

for example, suppose you are sitting inside a car at rest. The car suddenly starts moving. According to 1st law of motion you are thrown backwards. You feel as a force is being applied on you. this force is noting but a pseudo force. I hope now it will be clear to you.

Post all your doubts here. If you like the answer please approve it.

Best of Luck!

Regards, A S
