Front

Define centripetal acceleration.

Back

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration directed towards the center of a circular path, calculated as a_c = v²/r.

Front

What is the formula for centripetal force?

Back

Centripetal force (F_c) is given by F_c = m * a_c, where a_c is the centripetal acceleration.

Front

What is the relationship between period and frequency?

Back

Frequency (f) is the reciprocal of the period (T), f = 1/T.

Front

How does increasing the radius affect centripetal acceleration?

Back

Increasing the radius decreases the centripetal acceleration for a constant speed.

Front

What is the unit of centripetal acceleration?

Back

The unit of centripetal acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s²).
