If something goes around as a circle. which means circular motion. in circular motion what are the main forces that helps to make that object go as circularly?

Question

farcher · Answer

You need a force towards the centre of the circle to produce a centripetal acceleration.

anonymous · Answer

Centripetal force is the force that is always directed towards the center of circular path. However, many would argue, including textbooks, that centripetal force is a fictitious force and is moreover a "property" of a force. For example, if a car drives in a circle, friction is the force that keeps it moving in a circle and is therefore considered to be the centripetal force.
