Centrifugal force is a force that acts perpendicular to the direction of motion of an object and keeps the object moving in a circle?

No, centrifugal force is the force that causes objects in rotation to move away form the center of rotation. The force that keeps objects moving in circular motion is called "centripetal force".

Centrifugal force, is the force the body experiences because of its inertia when it follows a curved path.

What causes circular motion?
Circular motion is due to the direction of a body/particle/object perpendicular to a radius of the circle drawn to the point of location of the object on the circle.
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 describes the motion of the media for a surface wave?
The motion is parallel to wave direction The motion is both parallel and perpendicular to wave direction. The motion is perpendicular to wave direction.
What force is always perpendicular to motion?
The force associated with Torque T is always perpendicular to the torque motion, T=FxR.
What is the direction of acceleretion of a body in circular motion?
-- The acceleration is directed from the body to the center of the circle. -- The velocity is tangent to the circle at the place where the body is. That direction is also perpendicular to the acceleration at that moment.

What is a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels?
Wave that has vibration in a direction that is perpendicular to the motion creating it
When force is perpendicular to the direction of motion is work done?
No. At least not by the force that's perpendicular to the motion. When you push a baby stroller (or a car), you do work, but the force of gravity, downward and perpendicular to the motion, doesn't.
Transverse waves vibrate to the direction it travels?
perpendicular to or at right angles to their direction of motion
How does motion in a vertical circle differ from that in a horizontal circle?
During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.
Why is centrifugal force no longer used to explain circular motion?
One big reason is because centrifugal force doesn't explain circular motion, and the other one is because centrifugal force doesn't even exist. I can't think of a way to make an object move in a circle by pulling it from outside of the circle.
Wave motion perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving is?
a transverse wave
What should be the angle between the direction of force and the direction of motion of a body so that the work done is zero?
If the force is perpendicular (at 90 degrees) to the direction of motion, that force does no work.
