The formula for centripetal acceleration, a, is given by this formula, where v is the velocity of the object and r is the object’s distance from the center of the circular path:

A= V2/R

Answer:r=v^2/A

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for r means you have to isolate r on one side and put all the other terms on the other. To get r out from under the fraction, multiply both sides by r. This leaves:

A*r=v^2 so to isolate r, divide by A and get:

r=v^2/A.
