Radial force doesn't work on orbit in circular motion.ÊCentrifical force is created by objects going in a circular motion, where as there can be no balance of the forces.

Radial force in circular motion does not work because the acceleration needed to keep an object moving in a circle is provided by the centripetal force, directed towards the center of the circle. This centripetal force maintains the object's velocity and prevents it from moving in a straight line. Therefore, no additional radial force is required for the object to stay in orbit.
The relationship between radial force and angular velocity squared is described by the centripetal force equation, which states that the radial force required to keep an object moving in a circular path is equal to the mass of the object times the square of its angular velocity, multiplied by the radius of the circular path. This relationship shows that an increase in angular velocity will result in a corresponding increase in the radial force needed to maintain the object's circular motion.
The centripetal force is always perpendicular to the motion in circular motion. It acts towards the center of the circle, keeping the object moving in a circular path.
The Centripetal Force
The radial force equation used to calculate the force acting on an object moving in a circular path is F m v2 / r, where F is the force, m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity of the object, and r is the radius of the circular path.
In circular motion, the normal force is the force exerted by a surface on an object to prevent it from falling through. The centripetal force is the force that keeps an object moving in a circular path. The normal force and the centripetal force are related because the normal force provides the centripetal force needed to keep the object in circular motion.
