A force acting on a moving body at an angle to the direction of motion, tending to make the body follow a circular or curved path. The force of gravity acting on a satellite in orbit is an example of acentripetal force; the friction of the tires of a car making a turn similarly provides centripetal force on the car.

☛When a body moves along a circular path in a uniform speed, its direction of motion changes at every points.
☛The change in direction involves changes in velocity or acceleration.
☛The force that provide the acceleration and keeps the body moving along a circular path acts towards centre. This force is known as centripetal ( centre seeking) force.
☛This is a force required to make a body move along a circular path with uniform speed.
☛It always acts along the radius and towards the centre of the circular path.
☛Eg:- The motion of the Moon around the earth is due to the centripetal force. The centripetal force is provided by the force of attraction of the earth. If there was no such force, the moon would move in straight line motion.
