Hey user..
Answer:
If you whirl a ball on a string over your head, the ball is undergoing centripetal acceleration. If you drive your car around in a circle, your car is undergoing centripetal acceleration. And, a satellite orbiting the Earth also has a centripetal acceleration.
Centripetal acceleration is the idea that any object moving in a circle, in something called circular motion, will have an acceleration vector pointed towards the center of that circle. This is true even if the object is moving around the circle at a constant speed. Centripetal means towards the center.
Hope this helps u dude ☺️
