Answer:

B)
a_c = (4\pi^2 R)/(T^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that for uniform circular motion the speed of the object is given by


v = (distance)/(time)

here we know that


v = (2\pi R)/(T)

now we know the formula of centripetal acceleration as


a_c = (v^2)/(R)

here we know that


a_c = (((2\pi R)/(T))^2)/(R)

by solving above we have


a_c = (4\pi^2 R)/(T^2)
