Insert the information in the form and the calculator will determine the centripetal acceleration.
What is the centripetal acceleration?
The centripetal acceleration is the property of the motion of a specific object traversing a circular path. Simply it is an object that is moving in a circle and has an acceleration vector pointed towards the center of that circle.
How to calculate centripetal acceleration?
To calculate centripetal acceleration you should use the following formula:
ac = v² / r
where:
ac = centripetal acceleration
v = velocity
r = radius
Why use centripetal acceleration?
The centripetal acceleration calculator is used in order to determine the centripetal acceleration.
