Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In a body that moves in a circular path around a central point the force that acts toward the centre and keeps the body at a constant distance from the centre is called.
A
Objectional force
B
Circular force
C
Centrifugal force
D
Centripetal force
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A centripetal force is a net force that acts on an object to keep it moving along a circular path.

Detailed explanation-2: -When an object moves in a circular path it changes into direction and velocity at every point. The force that causes this velocity or acceleration is called centripetal force. It always acts in the inwards direction i.e, towards the center. Solve any question of Laws of Motion with:-Patterns of problems.

Detailed explanation-3: -When a body moves in a circular path with uniform speed (constant speed), its motion is called uniform circular motion. It is clear that when a body moves in a circle with uniform speed, its velocity changes continuously, so that the motion in a circle is accelerated. In other words, circular motion is accelerated.

Detailed explanation-4: -if the speed is constant then change is kinetic energy is zero corresponding work done will be zero. the forces applying on the body are in radial direction and movement of body is tangential (angle between force and displacement is 90∘) sot the total work done by forces will be zero.

Detailed explanation-5: -Any net force causing uniform circular motion is called a centripetal force. The direction of a centripetal force is toward the center of rotation, the same as for centripetal acceleration.
