Centripetal

Acceleration
What is centriputal acceleration ?
It▪ is the
  acceleration of an object moving in a circular path.
Its formula is a = v^2 / r.
Where v = 2r / T.

circular path with a uniform speed.
▪ Velocity is constant.
▪ No work is done.
▪ Constant angular velocity.
▪ No force is acting.
