How does the velocity of a circular moving object affect the centripetal force on that object?

The centripetal force required to keep an object moving in a circle increases as the velocity of the object increases. This is because a higher velocity means there is a greater tendency for the object to move in a straight line, requiring a stronger force to keep it moving in a circle. In other Words, centripetal force is directly proportional to the square of the velocity of the object.
