Hello there!

Greetings!

Any object that is moving in a circle and has an acceleration vector pointed towards the centre of that circle, which is called Centripetal acceleration, it is the rate of change of tangential velocity .It is directed radially toward the centre of the circle and has a magnitude equal to the square of the bodys speed along the curve divided by the distance from the centre of the circle to the moving body.

thankyou
