Question

Inertia makes an object want to travel in a straight line. It takes a _____ force to make it move in a circle.

Answer 1

It is called centripetal force.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an object moves in a circular path, it experiences a centripetal force which always acts towards the centre of the circular path.

The formula of the centripetal force is given by

`F = (m* v^(2))/(r)`

where, m is the mass of the object, v be the speed of the object and r be the radius of circular path.
