Name the force required for circular motion. State its direction.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Force Required for Circular Motion:** The force required for an object to move in a circular path is called **centripetal force**. This force is essential for maintaining circular motion. 2. **State the Direction of Centripetal Force:** The direction of centripetal force is always **towards the center** of the circular path. This means that no matter where the object is in its circular motion, the centripetal force will always act inward, pulling the object towards the center of the circle. ...
