The formulas for finding the acceleration are:
In this formula ac is the centripetal acceleration, v is the circular velocity (revolutions per unit time) and r is the radius of the circle
ac =
In this formula ac is the centripetal acceleration, r is the radius of the circle and T is the period of the circle (the amount of time need to make one revolution. This formula gives a linear acceleration.
