Centripetal acceleration is acceleration towards the center of the movement.
Acceleration is always in the same direction as net force. If the force is centripetal,
then it is toward the center of the path's curvature, and the acceleration is too.
Towards the centre.
Centripetal acceleration
The centripetal acceleration is v2/r, directed toward the center of the circle..
No, any turning object undergoes acceleration because the direction is always changing. The acceleration vector points into the circle of rotation, and the velocity vector is a tangent line to the circle at any given point. The equation is Centripetal Acceleration=v^2/r
Centripetal means towards the center. Any object moving around in a circle is accelerating towards the center. Remember that acceleration involves a change in velocity, and a specification of "velocity" includes the direction; therefore, since the direction of the movement changes continuously, the object is "accelerating", according to the definition of acceleration.
That's called 'centripetal acceleration'. It's the result of the centripetal forceacting on the object on the curved path.

No it is not because its direction is constantly changing. It is not a constant force. Force has direction as well as magintude and while it magnitude is constant its direction is not.
acceleration is never a scalar...it describes in what direction is the motion of an object changing, so it can't be a scalar...

"Acceleration" does not mean "speeding up". Acceleration means any changein the speed or direction of motion. An object with no acceleration moves at aconstant speed in a straight line. If its path is not straight, then the directionof its motion changes, which fits the definition of acceleration.
Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity, and is a result of a force being applied on the object in question. Acceleration will not always result in an object changing direction, but it is capable of it (in the case of centripetal acceleration, all it does is change the direction.) Acceleration is a vector, therefore a direction must always be given when a value is stated.
The unit of centripetal acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s^2). It represents the change in velocity per unit time in the direction towards the center of the circular motion.
This question made me lol, so I have to answer it.The bug is travelling in an assumedly perfect circle (the record), so the acceleration is directed toward the center of the record, as is the centripetal force
You can calculate the centripetal ACCELERATION with one of these formulae: acceleration = velocity squared / radius acceleration = omega squared x radius Acceleration refers to the magnitude of the acceleration; the direction is towards the center. Omega is the angular speed, in radians per second. To get the centripetal FORCE, you can use Newton's Second Law. In other words, just multiply the acceleration by the mass.
