A particle is moving in a uniform circular motion with constant speed v along a circle of radius r. The acceleration of the particle is?

Explanation

The acceleration of a particle moving in a uniform circular motion is directed towards the center of the circle and is given by:

a = v^2 / r

This is known as centripetal acceleration.
