Centripetal force :- The force which act on towards the centre of a body when an object is moving on a circular path is called centripetal force.
It's magnitude can be given by this formula :-
where, M is mass
V is velocity,
R is radius.
In the absence of centripetal force the moon doesn't revolves around the earth because centripetal force kept bind the moon towards it's centre. Without centripetal force moon escapes tangentliy in space.
