Newton’s 1st law
In an inertial frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.

So making something spin in a circle requires force to change the object’s path. That is why centrifugal force can mimic gravity, like G forces in fighter planes.
