Question

What is Centripetal acceleration ?? Explain in detail

Answer 1

Consider an object moving in a circle of radius r with constant angular velocity. The tangential speed is constant, but the direction of the tangential velocity vectorchanges as the object rotates.

Definition: Centripetal Acceleration

Centripetal acceleration is the rate of change of tangential velocity

Answer 2

Consider an object moving in a circle of radius r with constant angular velocity . The tangential speed is constant , but the direction of the tangential velocity vector changes as the object rotates .
