centripetal acceleration

listen to the pronunciation of centripetal acceleration
English - Turkish
merkezcil ivme
özekçil ivme
English - English
"center-seeking" acceleration for an object moving in a circular path (a vector quantity)
The acceleration associated with motion around a circle, directed to the center of the circle
The acceleration of an object toward a fixed central point that produces circular motion
the acceleration toward the center that holds a satellite in elliptical orbit
The acceleration which acts toward the center of the circle on an object in uniform circular motion; its magnitude is a = v2/r where v is the speed and r is the radius of the circle
Property of the motion of an object traveling in a circular path. Centripetal describes the force on the object, directed toward the centre of the circle, which causes a constant change in the object's direction and thus its acceleration. The magnitude of centripetal acceleration a is equal to the square of the object's velocity v along the curved path divided by the object's distance r from the centre of the circle, or a = v^2/r
Acceleration directed toward the center of a circular path
Acceleration toward center of circular motion
– the acceleration, toward the center of the circle, of an object in uniform circular motion about this center
