The Centrifugal force.
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.

The support force on an object is called the normal force because it is a force "normal" to the object. "Normal" in this sense means perpendicular.
contact force
Centripetal force is the force that keeps an object moving in a circular path. It always acts towards the center of the circle. In a circular orbit, the centripetal force is provided by the gravitational force between the orbiting object and the object it is moving around. If there were no central force, the object would move in a straight line tangent to the circle.

A force that causes an object to move in a circle is a central force, or a centripetal force.
The support force on an object is called the normal force because it is a force "normal" to the object. "Normal" in this sense means perpendicular.
contact force
That is called the object's weight.
a measure of force that tells the omount og gravity acting on an object is called

The force of gravity.
If an object doesn't move, then the net force on it is called "zero".
The measure of how much gravitational force is exerted on an object is called?
