Where should you stand on the earth's surface to experience the least centripetal acceleration Explain?
As the earth bulges a bit at the equator, you should stand at the poles to experience the most centripetal acceleration. Looking at the formula for centripetal acceleration (Ac= v2/r), we see that as the distance from the centre of the body (r) increases, the acceleration decreases, therefore when the distance to the centre mass is smaller, as it is at the poles compared to at the equator, the acceleration is greatest.
What is the application of centripetal forces in the daily life?
You can feel the centripetal force every time you are in a car, and that car goes around a corner. This force has to be taken into account by the driver; otherwise, there can be accidents. Most washing machines have an option for drying the laundry (partially), through an application of the centripetal force.
What is the type of force that keeps objects moving in a circle or an arc?
centripetal or centrifugal force...... most likely the first
What do you call a negative acceleration?
Deceleration- the opposite of acceleration.
What is the net acceleration in a non uniform motion?
For uniform motion, the acceleration is zero. For non-uniform motion, the acceleration is something different than zero - at least, most of the time.

The word centripetal means?
Tending towards the center, according to WordWeb, a dictionary program which compiles definitions from several dictionaries and gives the most accurate (in it's opinion). In terms of physics, i.e. centripetal force, centripetal acceleration, centripetal motion, etc, etc, it refers to the motion of an object in a circular path, or the force which keeps it in such a path. The force is always directed towards the center of the circle as by the definition above.
