What name is given to any net force that causes uniform circular motion?

1. Centripetal force is not a new kind of force with its own separate origin. 2. It is the name for whatever net force happens to be holding an object on a circular path. 3. Tension, gravity, friction or a normal force can each play that role in different situations. 4. So the term describes the job the force is doing, not the force's physical source. _Source: OpenStax College Physics (CC BY 4.0), Ch 6 "Uniform Circular Motion and Gravitation", section 6.3 Centripetal Force_
