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.
The velocity of an object moving at a constant speed but in a circular motion due to a centripetal force is constantly changing direction (because velocity is a vector with magnitude and direction), and so since the motion of an object moving in a circle is at a tangent to the circle, this object is defined as constantly accelerating towards the centre of the circle.
NB: this is at a constant speed (scalar) and with a constant radius of circle of motion
The equation for centripetal acceleration is a = v2/r, where a is acceleration, v is velocity in m/s, and r is the radius of the circle in meters. So the dimension of the acceleration a = (m/s)2/m = m2/s2/m, which gives m/s/s or m/s2. The direction of the acceleration is toward the center of the circle.
the acceleration directed toward the center of a circular path
Centripetal acceleration is caused by a centripetal force.
That means acceleration towards the center, for example, when something moves in a circle at constant speed.
toward a central point
centripetal force.
acceleration in circular motion
That's called 'centripetal acceleration'. It's the result of the centripetal forceacting on the object on the curved path.
Centripetal acceleration is acceleration towards the center of the movement.
The body which is subjected to centripetal acceleration undergoes uniform circular motion.

Centripetal acceleration is acceleration towards the center of the movement.
The body which is subjected to centripetal acceleration undergoes uniform circular motion.
If an object follows a circular path, it must have a centripetal force on it to keep it moving in a circle. Centripetal means "toward the center of the circle". The force causes Centripetal acceleration toward the center witch is along the radius of the circular path. Tangential acceleration occurs at a Tangent to the circular path and is always perpendicular to the centripetal acceleration. Always perpendicular to the radius of the circle.
Centripetal acceleration = V2/R = (4)2/(0.5) = 32 meters/sec2The centripetal acceleration doesn't depend on the stone's mass.(The centripetal force does.)The centripetal acceleration doesn't "act on" the stone.(The centripetal force does.)The centripetal force acting on the stone is F = M A = (0.25) (32) = 8 newtons.
Centripetal acceleration.
Acceleration in circular motion is the acceleration directed towards the center of the circle, known as centripetal acceleration. It is responsible for keeping an object moving in a circular path rather than in a straight line. The magnitude of centripetal acceleration is given by the formula a = v^2 / r, where v is the velocity of the object and r is the radius of the circle.
g
Centripetal Acceleration is the ratio of the square of the velocity and radius ac=v2/r So if we change the velocity of the circulating object or change the radius of the revolution, centripetal acceleration is changed
A ball on a string is an example of centripetal acceleration
