Answer:
Centripetal acceleration, the acceleration of a body traversing a circular path. Because velocity is a vector quantity (that is, it has both a magnitude, the speed, and a direction), when a body travels on a circular path, its direction constantly changes and thus its velocity changes, producing an acceleration.
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.
