Angular velocity

The Angular velocity is defined as the angle swept by the radius per unit time.

Centripetal acceleration

The acceleration towards the center of the circle is known as centripetal acceleration.

An object traveling in a circular path may have a constant speed, but it is not traveling in a straight line. The velocity and direction are changing as velocity is a vector. A change in velocity means the object is accelerating.

Centripetal force provides the centripetal acceleration.
