Acceleration Calculator-centripetal acceleration

Step 1:

Enter the values of instantaneous velocity and radius of curve below using which you want to find the centripetal acceleration.

The acceleration calculator finds the centripetal acceleration using the given values.

Centripetal acceleration of the object is given by-

$a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$ $a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$
$a_{c} = centripetal acceleration$ $a_{c} = centripetal acceleration$
$v = instantaneous velocity$ $v = instantaneous velocity$
$r = radius of curve$ $r = radius of curve$

Step 2:

Click the blue arrow to submit. Choose "Find the Centripetal Acceleration" from the topic selector and click to see the result in our Physics Calculator!
