(physics) The force on a rotating or orbiting body in the direction of the centre of rotation.

A particle is disturbed from its uniform linear motion by a series of short kicks (1, 2, ...), giving its trajectory a nearly circular shape. The force is referred to as a centripetal force in the limit of a continuously acting force directed towards the center of curvature of the path.

(physics) The force on a rotating or orbiting body in the direction of the centre of rotation.

Velocity and acceleration in uniform circular motion

(physics) The force on a rotating or orbiting body in the direction of the centre of rotation.

A body experiencing uniform circular motion requires a centripetal force, towards the axis as shown, to maintain its circular path.
