👉 In physics, "uncentripetal" is a noun that describes an object's motion in a circular or elliptical path. It refers to the force of attraction between two objects that are moving towards each other at the same speed and direction. For example, if you were walking on a straight line, your body would be pulled towards the center by gravity, even though you're not accelerating. This is because the force of gravity is always attractive, regardless of the speed or direction of motion.
