Cettripetal Force causes an object to accelerate towards the center. The direction changes as the object moves around the center and is not fixed if the object moves.

What is the direction of centripetal force?
Toward the center of curvature of the path along which it causes the object to move.
What causes an object to move in a circular path?
Centripetal Force ^^
What is the measure of how effectively a force causes rotation?
centripetal force
What causes a thrown object to follow a curved path?
Centripetal Force
What centripetal force that causes it to move in a circle?
gravity or gravitational pull
What is the direction of centripetal force?
Toward the center of curvature of the path along which it causes the object to move.
The unbalenced force that causes an object to move in a circular path is called a?
centripetal force
Centripetal force can it produce rotation?
A centripetal force is, by definition, a force that makes a body follow a curved path. So, yes, a centripetal force causes rotation about a point in space.
The centripetal force that causes circular motion always acts?
Towards the centre of the circle. Centripetal actually means "centre finding".
Unbalanced force that causes an object to move in a circular path is called a ---force?
Centripetal, I think. You're in eighth garde science, aren't you? Centripetal, I think. You're in eighth garde science, aren't you?
How centripetal force affects circular motion?
Basically, the centripetal force CAUSES the circular motion in the first place. In other words, without a centripetal force, the moving object would just go straight ahead.
What causes objects to move in a circle?
is called the centripetal force
What causes an object to move in a circular path?

What is the measure of how effectively a force causes rotation?
centripetal force
What is the centripetal force that causes it to move in a circle?
Centripetal force, which is the product of the mass and the centripetal acceleration.Fcp = m x acpYou can measure the acp in various ways:acp = v2 / r acp = ω2 x r
What is the centripetal force that causes it to move?
A centripetal force is a force that pulls something, that is moving in a circle, towards the center - in other words, keeping it in circular motion.
What is an example of tangential and centripetal acceleration?
If an object follows a circular path, it must have a centripetal force on it to keep it moving in a circle. Centripetal means "toward the center of the circle". The force causes Centripetal acceleration toward the center witch is along the radius of the circular path. Tangential acceleration occurs at a Tangent to the circular path and is always perpendicular to the centripetal acceleration. Always perpendicular to the radius of the circle.
