Roulette. The ball going in a circle is an example of centripetal force, its speed (whatever it may be) is constantly changing so it is Acceleration. In other words, it is Centripetal Acceleration.

Examples of centripetal acceleration include a car turning a corner, a ball moving in a circular path on a string, and a planet orbiting around a star.
No, radial and centripetal acceleration are not the same. Radial acceleration is the acceleration towards the center of a circle, while centripetal acceleration is the acceleration that keeps an object moving in a circular path.
No, radial acceleration and centripetal acceleration are not the same. Radial acceleration is the acceleration directed towards the center of a circle, while centripetal acceleration is the acceleration that keeps an object moving in a circular path.
The formula for centripetal acceleration is a v2 / r, where a is the centripetal acceleration, v is the velocity, and r is the radius.
Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration directed towards the center of a circular path, while tangential acceleration is the acceleration along the tangent of the circle, perpendicular to the centripetal acceleration.
