Since there is tension in the string, there must be an pulling force at each end. (action and reaction)

that the moving body is taking.

In what direction does centripetal force act on an object?
Centripetal force acts towards the center of the circle of motion.
What is the direction of the force that's keeps and object moving in a circle?
The centripetal force which always acts perpendicular to the motion of the object
What is the meaning of 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
What direction does a centripetal force act?
radially inward
Which direction does the centripetal acceleration point?
Centripetal acceleration is acceleration towards the center of the movement.
In what direction does centripetal force act on an object?
Centripetal force acts towards the center of the circle of motion.
What is the direction of the force that's keeps and object moving in a circle?
The centripetal force which always acts perpendicular to the motion of the object
What direction does a centripetal force vector point?
toward the center of the circle along the radius. the centrifugal force acts opposite the centripedal force
What force acts on a motorcycle riding on the wall of a bowl centripetal or centifugal force?
Centripetal.

What force continuallly changes a satellite's direction?
centripetal force
What direction does a centripetal force act?
radially inward
Does centripetal force do work on the particle on which it acts?
No, because the force is perpendicular to the movement.
What direction of the gravitational force and centripetal force on a satellite?
The gravitational force on a satellite is towards the center of the Earth. The gravitational force IS the centripetal force is this case, so the centripetal force pulls the satellite towards the center of the Earth. There is no balancing force that pulls the satellite outwards (if there were, it wouldn't accelerate, i.e., change direction).
Which direction does the centripetal acceleration point?
Centripetal acceleration is acceleration towards the center of the movement.
Which force acts to accelerate oblects towards the center of a curved path?
A centripetal force does.
What in centripetal force?
Centripetal force is a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving. It is also known as center seeking force.
