Formula for Centripetal/Centrifugal Acceleration
The formula to calculate centripetal (or centrifugal) acceleration is given by:
a = v2 / r
Where:
- a = Centripetal/Centrifugal Acceleration (in meters per second squared, m/s2)
- v = Tangential Velocity (in meters per second, m/s)
- r = Radius of the Circular Path (in meters, m)
