Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the centripetal acceleration of an object can be calculated by the formula as follows :


a_c=(v^2)/(r)

Where

v is the speed of an object

r is the radius of the circle

It means, the centripetal acceleration depends directly on the square of the object's speed and inversely on the radius of the circle. Hence, the given statement is true.
