Centripetal force is a force that keeps an object inwards, in the case of circular motion or similar.
You must apply a force towards the centre of the circle. This is called a centripetal force.
Centripetal force has the following formula: Fcentripetal = m times V2/r What that says is that for a constant r in an example, the Fcentripetal is proportional to V2. The centripetal force is proportional to the square of the velocity of the object.
No; "centripetal" implies an inward force.
no, but rotation can produce centripetal force

Centripetal force is the force necessary to apply to an object to get it to orbit; like spinning a rock on a string. It you are holding on to the string, you will feel a centrifugal force.

The centripetal force is equal to the gravitational force when a particular body is in a circle. For a body that is in an orbit, the gravitational force is equivalent to the centripetal force.
no, but rotation can produce centripetal force
Answer It is the force which keeps a body moving in circular motion. Centripetal force is the force that acts opposite to cetrifugal force. Centripetal force is a real force. Centrifugal force is a pseudo-force
The gravitational force IS the centripetal force in this case.

Centripetal force is a force that is required to exist to have a circular motion. Thus the centripetal force can be any force that is able to accomplish this task. Examples of centripetal forces are the gravitational force, the electromagnetic force, the frictional force, or the constraint forces. The centripetal force depends on the system that is involved in be in a spin of a rigid body, or of a planetary motion, etc. Each particular system that requires a rotation or a spin needs to have a corresponding centripetal force.
Centripetal acceleration is proportional to the square of the speed (a = v2/r). Therefore, according to Newton's Second Law, centripetal force is also proportional to the square of the speed.
