if you mean "force that causes an object to go in a circle", that is called Centrifugal force.
an object in motion stays in motion correct? Centrifugal force is where an object is traveling trough space and wants to move in a straight line, and an outside force doesn't allow the object to move outside of a set boundary by pulling on it. like gravity keeping the Earth in orbit around the Sun, or the Moon around the Earth

When an object moves in a circle what acts to accelerate the object toward the center of circle?
Well, I was taught that it was centripetal force, but that was a long time ago.
What furnishes centipetal force of earth to go around it?
it is something called vertical motion
How basketball can be related to gravitational force?
Gravitational force can be related to basketball by the simple fact that gravity is what causes the ball to go in the basket (of course if you shoot it right) after you shoot and also allows you to dribble.
What is garavitation?
We have learnt that a force is needed to change speed or direction of motion of an object.We always observe that an object dropped from a height falls toward the earth.We know that all planets go around the sun.The moon go around the earth.In all these cases,there must be some force acting on objects,the planets on the moon.Isaac Newton could grasp that the same force is responsible for all these.This force is called gravitational force.
If an object in motion will stay in motion what causes a bullet shot into fall?
its the laws of motion. once a thing like the bullet has lost its force, it will stop moving and slowly go down its the laws of motion. once a thing like the bullet has lost its force, it will stop moving and slowly go down
How do you provide circular motion?
Have the force at a constant right angle to the motion. (Centripetal force always acts at right angles to the motion of the object, this is what makes it go around in a circle)
What force causes water to go down the drain?
gravity force
What is the force called that keeps an object moving in a circle?
The force that keeps an object moving in a circle or an arc is called a centripetal force. Gravity is an example of centripetal force that keeps a satellite in a circular orbit around a planet. Another example is when you ride on a merry-go-round - the rotating play structure imparts a centripetal force upon you, forcing you to also travel in a circle.
What does around mean?
around means going in a circle and one way to memorize the definition for around is if you take off the a it spells round and round as in a circle and the definition is to go around in a circle.
What causes the hunters who had promised to keep the fire burning to neglect it and allow it to go out?
Jack wanted all the hunters to go with him to catch the pig because they needed enough people to make a circle around it
How does plants make medicine?
they produce it and the stuff in side them (lets just say they use the circle of life) they go in circle around inside then they go around
Does the Arctic Circle go around the world?
Yes.
What force causes your car to go slow?
pretty sure its friction
What is the name of the circle that the planets go around?
If you mean the trajectory of the planets around their parent stars, it is called the orbit, and it is not a circle but an ellipse
How many feet go around a 20 ft circle?
Circumference of a circle = 2piradius or pi*diameter
When an object moves in a circle what acts to accelerate the object toward the center of circle?
Well, I was taught that it was centripetal force, but that was a long time ago.
What is the definition of circumnavigate?
To go around something: to sail or fly around something such as the world or an island... Synonyms: orbit, move around, circle, travel around, fly around, go around, sail around, fly round
