Question

what does centipetral acceleration mean ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration, property of the motion of a body traversing a circular path. The acceleration is directed radially toward the centre of the circle and has a magnitude equal to the square of the body's speed along the curve divided by the distance from the centre of the circle to the moving body.

Answer 2

Centripetal acceleration, property of the motion of a body traversing a circular path. The acceleration is directed radially toward the centre of the circle and has a magnitude equal to the square of the body's speed along the curve divided by the distance from the centre of the circle to the moving body.
Ex ; 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.
