  A force applied perpendicular to a body’s displacement can result in its circular motion.  垂直于物体位移施加的力可以导致物体的圆周运动。

Nature of science: 科学性质：

  Observable universe: Observations and subsequent deductions led to the realization that the force must act radially inwards in all cases of circular motion.

可观测的宇宙：通过观察和随后的推论，人们认识到，在所有圆周运动的情况下，力都必须径向向内作用
