Answer:

As the centripetal force acts upon an object moving in a circle at constant speed, the force always acts inward as the velocity of the object is directed tangent to the circle. ... In fact, whenever the unbalanced centripetal force acts perpendicular to the direction of motion, the speed of the object will remain constant.
