centripetal acceleration
Centripetal acceleration is the rate of change of tangential velocity of a body moving along a circular path. It is always directed towards the center of the path and is the result of a net force, called centripetal force, acting towards that center. The magnitude of centripetal acceleration is equal to the square of the object's speed along the curved path divided by the distance from the center of the path.
