What force holds an object in a circular object?

Centripetal force is necessary to keep an object in a circular path.


A force that holds a moving object in a circular path is called the?

A force that holds a moving object in a circular path is a "centripetal force". In the case of an orbiting planet, moon, artificial satellite etc., the mutual force of gravitation between the orbiting body and the central body is the centripetal force.


What force keeps and object in orbit?

Gravity holds an object in a circular orbit.


What force holds objects in a circular object?

Centripetal force which make the objects move in a circular paths the old name was centrifugal force but this isn`t used anymore by the professors of physics.


What is a force that holds a moving object in a circular path is called the?

centripetal- Dashun Walden


When an object experiences centripetal accelerationin which direction does it accelerate?

Its changing direction ;)


The force that holds planets in their orbit?

The force that holds the planets in orbit is gravity, although inertia( the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest, or the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.) help to hold it in place as well, because the two forces balance each other out.


What force prevents an object's potential energy from converting into kenetic energy?

Any force that holds the object in place. What force that is can depend on the specific circumstances.


This force holds back the movement of an object.?

Friction tends to do that.


If an unbalanced force acts on an object will it move at constant velocity?

Unbalanced forces cause acceleration in the direction of the net force with magnitude Fnet/m.


Will Archimedes' principle holds in a freely falling body?

Archimedes' principle refers to an object floating in a liquid. In this case, there is the downward force of gravity on the object, and the "buoyant force" as upward force. This is quite unrelated to "free fall", which means that no other forces than gravity act on an object.


What make object stayed placed?

Resistance keeps an object in place. This resistance can come from friction, which works against motion, or from an obstacle of some kind that is prohibiting movement. In terms of vertical motion, gravity holds all objects to the earth and keeps them firmly planted on the ground.An object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted on by a forceAn object in place will stay in place unless acted upon by a force. So if you kick a box in place on the floor it will move. There is always a force of gravity pulling it down, bu the force of gravity is resisted by the floor which keeps it in place (equilibrium - no net force). If you cut around it and make a hole in the floor it will move straight down.
