What is the natural tendency of an object's direction.....

Q: what is the natural tendency of an object's direction when it is forved to move in a circle

I need this question answered ASAP for my AP Physics study guide. I pretty much know the answer but I need it in "scientific language" so to say. (Or whatever makes it sound sciency the most lol)

THANKS

The natural tendency is to travel in a direction which is always perpendicular to circle's radius line from the object to the centre of the circle. This diection is usually referred to as the "tangential" direction.
