The force on the object has a constant strength, but its direction
keeps changing. The force is always directed from the object to
the center of the circle. It's called "centripetal force".

Answer:

Circular Motion:

When an object is moving with a uniform circular motion, it has a net acceleration,α which is directed towards the center of the circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

An object in a circular motion:

When an object is moving in a circular motion, there speed is uniform across all the points on the circular path. While the change in acceleration is just because of the change in direction during the motion of the object. The force acting on the body is the centripetal force, Fc. As the force,Fc is directed towards the center of the circle and the different points on which the objects are present during the whole duration of motion is tangent to the center of the circle.
