When an object is in motion in a circle what is the force that the object feels pushing it towards the outside of the circle?

This is one of the common misconception of early physics.
There is no force pushing the object to the outside of the circle. The object (like all objects) wishes to remain in linear motion (Newtons first law). What is happening is 'there is a force accelerating the object towards the center of the circle.
Now there have been names applied to the imaginary force that pushes object to the outside: Centrifugal acceleration.

What is the direction of acceleration in circular uniform motion?
Towards the center of the motion.
What provides the forces that causes the centripetal acceleration of a satellite in orbit?
When something is moving in circular motion there are two forces that concern the object, excluding forces affecting the motion of the object going around the circle as these would not make the acceleration constant, the force that pushes it inwards towards the centre of circle and the force that pushes it outwards towards the circle, the gravitational field from the mass at the centre of the orbit will provide the inward force, pulling the object inwards towards the centre, and the weight of the satellite will push it outwards towards the edge of the circle Correction- there is only one force- gravity- acting on a satellite in orbit. If it weren't for gravity, the satellite would fly off in a straight line. There is no outward pushing force.
In what direction does centripetal force act on an object?
Centripetal force acts towards the center of the circle of motion.
Three students are pushing on a box under what conditions will the motion of the box change?
When you pushing motion is happening tbh !!!
Under what condition a body whose velocity is directed towards east has an acceleration directed west?
In circular motion an object accelerates towards the radius of the circle but its velocity is unchanged
What is the direction of acceleration in circular uniform motion?
Towards the center of the motion.
Do centripetal forces act by pushing an object towards or away from the center of circular motion?
Towards!

The centripetal force that causes circular motion always acts?
Towards the centre of the circle. Centripetal actually means "centre finding".
Why is a particle in uniform circular motion not moving at a constant velocity?
No. Velocity has direction and magnitude. The magnitude can be constant, but if the body is in circular motion, the direction of the movement is constantly changing, which means that the velocity is constantly changing. Changing velocity means that the body is accelerating. In this case, because the motion of the body is always changing away from a straight line to cause it to go round the circle, the acceleration acts towards the centre of the circle.
What is centirpetal force?
When an object moves in a circle, a force is needed to pull the object towards the center of its motion. This force is called the centripetal force.
What is motion is produced by?
By Unbalanced forces(pulling and pushing)
Is pushing a wagon an example of force and motion?
Hhhh
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.
