Which of the following forces is responsible for acceleration due to air spinning in phenomena like tornadoes?

The force responsible for acceleration due to air spinning in phenomena like tornadoes is the centrifugal force. In the context of a rotating system, such as a tornado, the centrifugal force arises from the inertia of air parcels that are in motion. As air is drawn into a tornado, it begins to rotate around a low-pressure center. The nature of this rotation results in air parcels wanting to move outward due to their inertia.

In a tornado, the balance between the inward pressure gradient force (which pulls air towards the center) and the outward centrifugal force (which pushes it away) creates a stable rotating column of air. This interplay allows for the formation of a well-defined vortex. While other forces like the pressure gradient force and the Coriolis force contribute to the overall dynamics of storm systems and wind patterns, it is the centrifugal force that specifically accounts for the motion of air around the tornado’s axis of rotation.
