force can be thought of as either a push or a pull, as long as it makes the object move in a circular path.

Centripetal

Explanation: The centripetal force refers to the acting on a body moving in a circular path. This force acts in the direction of the center of rotation. The centripetal force is given by :

F = mv^2 / r

Where m = mass of th body

v. = Velocity

r = radius of the circular path.

For an object to move in a circular path, the force required is called the centripetal force. It is measured in Kgms^-2. It is directly proportional to the product of the Mass and square of it Velocity and varies inversely to the Radius of its path.

probably not if net force is zero
