Question

Centripetal force on an object in circular motion is always directed in which direction?

Answer 1

The centripetal force is the resultant force that causes this acceleration, and it is always directed towards the center of the circle. Without the resultant centripetal force, an object would travel at a constant velocity (constant speed and direction).

So the correct answer would be A : Toward the center of the circle. 

Hope this helps :)
