Question

What do you mean by centripetal acceleration?

Answer 1

Centripetal acceleration

✓ A centripetal force is a force that makes a body follow a curved path. Its direction is always orthogonal to the motion of the body and towards the fixed point of the instantaneous center of curvature of the path.

Answer 2

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 ☺️
