Explain the interaction between centripetal force and inertia and what kind of motion this interaction causes.

This answer works as well ...

Centripetal force pulls an object toward the center of a circle. Inertia is an object's tendency to keep moving in a straight line unless acted on by an outside force. Centripetal force causes an object to constantly change direction, so the combination of centripetal force and inertia causes an object to move in a circle.
