Boardworks Ltd 2015 Any object moving in a circle has a changing velocity, even if it is moving at a constant speed, because its direction is changing. It is always moving along a tangent to the circle. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Centripetal acceleration Therefore any object moving in a circle is accelerating. This is called the centripetal acceleration. a = Δv Δt v v v time Deriving equations for a Centripetal force F = ma and direction of acceleration According to Newton’s second law, force = mass × acceleration (F = ma). Acceleration and force therefore act in the same direction as one another. It can therefore now be seen that the direction of centripetal acceleration, a, is towards the centre of the circle. This is perpendicular to the direction of the velocity, v.
