If there are no conditions added to your question, then the answer is 'yes, of course', as long as you adjust the force acting on the system to keep it following that motion.

means it does work

mrnood · Answer

OK let's go.

First - centrifugal force does not exist.

The force that causes a body to move in a circular motion is centripetal force. It acts towards the centre of the motion.

Work = force x distance moved in direction of force.

A body in circular motion does not move in the direction of the centripetal force (it moves tangentially to the circle and perpendicularly to the force, and hence no work is done by the centripetal force.
