If an object travels at a constant speed in a circular path, the acceleration of the object is

there are two types of acceleration produced in a body if it moves in circular path !

first is ; tangential acceleration = dv/dt

and second is : radial acceleration = v^2/r

The acceleration of the object would be that : 1- larger in magnitude the smaller the radius of the circle. 2- smaller in magnitude the smaller the radius of the circle. 3- in the same direction as the velocity of the object.

Hope this helps!
