Is the direction of centripetal force of an object moving in a circle pointing to the center of the circular path?
kk
Centripetal force acts towards the center of rotation of an object. It is responsible for keeping an object moving in a circular path and preventing it from flying off in a straight line.
The centripetal force acts along the radius of the circle, inwards towards the centre.

Since there is tension in the string, there must be an pulling force at each end. (action and reaction)
Centripetal force always points toward the center of the curved path
that the moving body is taking.
Centrifugal force acts to move objects away from the center, centrifugal means "center fleeing", like "tempus fuget", time flies away.
radially inward
The centripetal force which always acts perpendicular to the motion of the object
Centripetal force acts towards the center of the circular path an object is traveling along. It is responsible for keeping the object moving in a circular motion by constantly pulling it towards the center.
The centripetal force does not do work on an object because it acts perpendicular to the direction of motion. It is responsible for changing the direction of the object's velocity, keeping it moving in a curved path, but it does not change the object's kinetic energy.
A centripetal force acts towards the center of the circle, continually changing the object's direction towards the center. This force prevents the object from moving in a straight line and keeps it moving in a circular path.

Centripetal.
Centripetal force is the force that keeps an object moving in a circular path by pulling it towards the center of the circle. It is necessary to maintain the object's velocity and prevent it from moving in a straight line. Mathematically, centripetal force is given by the equation Fc = mv^2 / r, where Fc is the centripetal force, m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity, and r is the radius of the circular path.

No, because the force is perpendicular to the movement.
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).
The centripetal acceleration points towards the center of the circular motion. It is responsible for keeping an object moving in a circle by continuously changing the object's direction.
A centripetal force does.
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.
