Both of these proposed a problem because Descartes analyzed impact in terms of the force internal to a moving body. Newton anticipated that a body will continue in its state unless an external force is acted upon it. This conclusion is still known today as the Conservation of Momentum. Newton did agree that a body in circular ... motion wants to withdraw from the center.
