No. The force keeping a ball on a string moving in a circle is centripetal force, i.e. force pulling the ball to the center of the circle.
What force makes us move forward when a car suddenly stops?
This is not a force, but your conservation of momentum. For there to be a force, you must have some acceleration, but what you feel is actually your body attempting to continue moving forward until the force of friction and force normal of your seat belt decelerate you.
