Centripetal force is the inward force that keeps an object moving in a circular path, constantly pulling it toward the center of that circle. Without this force, the object would fly off in a straight line due to inertia. It shows up in everyday situations, like when you take a sharp turn in a car and feel pushed to the side, or when a roller coaster loops upside down and you stay in your seat. The faster something spins or the tighter the curve, the stronger the centripetal force needed to keep it moving in that circle.
