Centripetal force is responsible for keeping a person on a swing moving in a circular path. As the swing reaches the highest point in its arc, the tension in the chains provide the centripetal force necessary to keep the person moving in a circular motion. When the swing is at its lowest point, the tension in the chains decreases as the centripetal force needed is also reduced.

An object moving in a circular path experiences acceleration even if it is moving at a constant speed. This is because the object is changing direction constantly, resulting in centripetal acceleration directed towards the center of the circle.
It would probably depend on how fast you were moving your head and how you were walking. I would think walking in a tight circle and moving your head back and forth quickly, would make a person dizzy, at least.
As the person on the merry-go-round accelerates through the center, they will experience a centripetal force directed towards the center of the merry-go-round. This force is responsible for keeping them moving in a circular path. If the acceleration is constant, the person will feel a consistent pull towards the center as they rotate around.
only if they walk in a circle
That's a true statement ... but not in the way you think. "Accelerating" is NOT necessarily the same thing as "speeding up".
Centripetal force acting on an orbiting object is unbalanced since the object is being accelerated.Velocity is continually changing direction if not speed. This means an orbiting object is accelerating and the direction of acceleration is toward the center. In fact, centripetal means "center seeking."A person at rest on the surface of the Earth is being acted upon by a centripetal force (toward the center of the Earth, that is, down) which is exactly equal and opposite to the spring force of the Earth's matter pushing up. Thus, in this case, the centripetal force is balanced.The previous answer (below) is generally incorrect.No,because when a body revolves round an orbit,its CENTRIPETAL force is balanced by the WEIGHT of the body!thank you!!
Yes, the force on an object moving in a circular path is directed towards the center of the circle. This centripetal force is required to keep the object moving in a curved path rather than continuing in a straight line.
An inertial frame of reference is a frame in which Newton's first law holds true, meaning an object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a force. In contrast, a non-inertial frame of reference is one that is accelerating or rotating, causing fictitious forces to appear in the equations of motion.
