The expansion of the centrifugal force formula, $F_c=m \omega \times(\omega \times x )$, relies on the vector triple product identity: $A \times( B \times C )= B ( A \cdot C )- C ( A \cdot B )$. Applying this identity with $A = \omega , B = \omega$, and $C = x$ allows the centrifugal force to be ultimately expressed in the form $F_c=m\left[\omega(\omega \cdot x )-\omega^2 x \right]$, where $\omega=|\omega|$ is the magnitude of the angular velocity.
