A centripetal force always causes a centripetal acceleration. True or False

True.

Centripetal force is the force that keeps an object moving around a centre, and the velocity of the object is always changing as it travels round the centre. The centripetal force hence causes centripetal acceleration.

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

As we know that centripetal force is net force towards the center of the circular path

Here this force will not change the speed of the object but it will change the direction of the motion

So here we can say that the acceleration here in this case will change the velocity only by changing the direction without changing the magnitude of the speed.

So this is TRUE statement

So centripetal force always causes a centripetal acceleration.
