👉 In physics, "centripetal" is a term used to describe the force that keeps an object moving in a circle. This force is due to the acceleration of the object around its center of mass, which is caused by gravity. When an object moves in a circular path, it experiences centripetal force, which causes it to keep moving in a straight line towards the center of the circle. The direction of this force is perpendicular to both the motion and the velocity of the object. Cent
