Question

the unbalanced force that causes objects to move in a circular path is called centrifugal force or centripital force?

Answer 1

Unbalanced ?

Centrififugal force keeps the spinning object going, the centripital force is the 'string' which keeps it going in circles.

The Earth is attracted to the Sun by gravity ( centripital ) Its motion is centrifugal... it would fly away from the sun if not for gravity, and it would fall into the Sun if it stopped moving.
