How to Calculate Centripetal Acceleration?

Use the formula (a_c = frac{v^2}{r})

Identify the object’s speed (v)

Identify the radius (r) of the circular path

Square the speed

Divide by the radius

Use the formula (a_c = romega^2) if angular speed (omega) is given

Convert units to meters per second and meters before calculating

Express the result in meters per second squared ((text{m/s}^2))
