Question

What is centripetal acceleration.???​

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

Answer:

When a partical moves in a circular path its speed remains constant but its direction is always changes continuously. Therefore, we can say that circular motion is an accelerated motion.

Since, the magnitude of velocity is constant ,a component of acceleration along the direction of velocity is zero . Thus,acceleration is always perpendicular to the direction of velocity . As the direction of velocity is along the tangent of the path. Hence, the direction of acceleration is always towards the centre of the path. These acceleration is called centripital acceleration.
