Each exhibits fictitious forces—unreal forces that arise from motion and may seem real, because the observer’s frame of reference is accelerating or rotating.

(Again, the politically correct tend to talk about the Coriolis effect, meaning deviation of a projectile, say, from an inertial frame trajectory resulting from the operation of this “force”.) A very nice illustration of this “force” is in the Frames of Reference 2 movie, starting at time 3:50.

(b) Without the Coriolis force, air would flow straight into a low-pressure zone, such as that found in tropical cyclones. (c) The Coriolis force deflects the winds to the right, producing a counterclockwise rotation. (d) Wind flowing away from a high-pressure zone is also deflected to the right, producing a clockwise rotation. (e) The opposite directio…

So in the rotating reference frame of the merry-go-round, you'll see the ball move in a curved path, which can't happen unless there is a "force" present.
