Question
Define
(a) Circular motion (b) Centripetal force (c) Centrifugal force

Answer

(a) Circular motion - The motion of a body in a circular path with uniform speed but variable velocity, such that it is acted upon by an acceleration is called circular motion.
(b) Centripetal force - A force which is directed towards the centre of a circular path and always acts at right angles to the direction of motion is called centripetal force,
(c) Centrifugal force - The force acting on a body away from the centre of its circular path along the radius is called centrifugal force,
