What keeps an object moving in a circle?
A
centripetal force
B
centripetal acceleration
C
inertia
D
momentum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The force which keeps an object move in a circular path is known as the ‘centripetal force’

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: If an object moves in a circular motion, then a radially inward force, which is known as the centripetal force, is acting on it. Hence, the law of inertial does not apply to an object moving in a circle.

Detailed explanation-3: -A centripetal force is a net force that acts on an object to keep it moving along a circular path.

Detailed explanation-4: -Inertia is a force which keeps stationary objects at rest and moving objects in motion at constant velocity. Inertia is a force which brings all objects to a rest position. All objects have inertia. A more massive object has more inertia than a less massive object.
