What causes an object to move in a circular path?
Centripetal Force ^^
What is the manifestation of centripetal force in a stone tied to a string and whirled horizontally?
The circular path that the stone follows is. It takes centripetal force to move any mass in a circular path.
The unbalanced force that causes an object to move in a circular path is called a?
centripetal force
Why object move in a circular path?
An object will move on a circular path if there is a force that keeps it in this circular path - in other words, that pushes it towards the center.
What is the force that can be thought of as either a push and pull as long as it makes the object move in a circular path?
centripetal

Does planets move in circular path instead of straight lines?
Planets rotate around the sun. The path is not really circular for planets, it is actually ellipsoidal.
Why does earth move around the sun in horizontal circular path not in vertical circular path?
It depends how you look at it. If you turn your head 90 degrees, you will see a vertical circular path. Note that there is no "up" and "down" in outer space; no preferred direction. The horizontal circular path is the way it is usually presented. This is just a convention.
Surface waves cause rock to move?
Surface waves cause rock to move in a circular path.
Why planets move along a circular path around sun?
They don't. They move in ellipses around the Sun.
Types of torque?
There is no specific type of torque. Torque is only the 'Circular' force that makes the body move in the circular path.

The circular path that the stone follows is. It takes centripetal force to move any mass in a circular path.
The unbalanced force that causes an object to move in a circular path is called what?
The unbalanced force that causes an object to move in a circular path is called centripetal force. It acts towards the center of the circle, keeping the object moving in a curved path instead of in a straight line.
The unbalanced force that causes an object to move in a circular path is called a?
centripetal force
What are the things that a centripetal force can do?
Keep an object in a circular (or otherwise curved) path.
What is the word for a circular path?
The word for a circular path is "orbit."
The unbalenced force that causes an object to move in a circular path is called a?
centripetal force
