Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For an object to move in a perfectly circular path, the net force must always be directed towards the center of the circle, which means its direction changes as the object moves, but the magnitude of the force (centripetal force) remains constant to maintain the circular motion.

In Order to Move in a Perfectly Circular Path, the Net
