Define Centripital force and acceleration.
Answers
Answer:
Hey pagal
Centripetal Force: The force, acting upon a body moving along a curved path, that is directed toward the center of curvature of the path and constrains the body to the path.
Centripetal acceleration: Property of the motion of a body traversing a circular path.

A body moving in a circle of constant radius with a constant speed has a non-zero force acting on it. This force is known as Centripetal force. It is directed towards the center of the circle. Its value is given by the formula :
Note : Centripetal force for uniform circular motion is constant in magnitude. However, its direction is continuously changing as it is always directed towards the center of the circle.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Usually, acceleration means the speed is changing, but not always. When an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed, it is stillaccelerating, because the direction of its velocity is changing.
