When an object is moving in a circle uniformly, it experiences a centripetal force directed toward the center of the circle. This force is required to keep the object in its circular path.

In the context of forces, the term "balanced" refers to a situation where the net force acting on an object is zero, while "unbalanced" means there is a nonzero net force. The term "uncountable" is not typically used in this context.

In the case of an object moving in a circle uniformly, the centripetal force is constantly changing the direction of the object's velocity but not its speed. Since there is an inward force acting toward the center of the circle, and no outward force to counteract it, the forces on the object are unbalanced. The centripetal force provides the necessary inward acceleration to keep the object moving in the circular path.
