Formula: Circular Motion
Centripetal acceleration - circular motion
Centripetal force perpendicular to angular velocity

Centripetal acceleration

Unit
Acceleration, which a body (e.g. a planet, a particle) experiences, which moves on a circular path. The centripetal acceleration points like the centripetal force to the circle center (in radial direction).

Radius

Unit
Radius of the circular path. This is the distance from the center of the circle to the rotating body.

Frequency

Unit
The frequency indicates how many revolutions per second the body makes.
