what is centripetal acceleration?
answer fast who will answer 1st i will mark them brainliest ❤❤❤☺

Centripetal (radial) acceleration is the acceleration that causes an object to move along a circular path, or turn. Whereas ordinary (tangential) acceleration points along (or opposite to) an object's direction of motion, centripetal acceleration points radially inward from the object's position, making a right angle with the object's velocity vector. In fact, because of its direction, centripetal acceleration is also referred to as "radial" acceleration.
A force acting on a moving body at an angle to the direction of motion, tending to make the body follow a circular or curved path. The force of gravity acting on a satellite in orbit is an example of a centripetal force; the friction of the tires of a car making a turn similarly provides centripetal force on the car.
