    Object's centripetal acceleration is 20 m/s^2

    An object moving in a circular path with a constant speed, does have an acceleration, as it changes its direction as the object rotates. This centripetal acceleration can be found using below mentioned relation:

    Ac (centripetal acceleration) = (v^2) / r; where, v is the constant speed of object and r is the radius of circular motion

    Therefore, Ac = 10*10/5 = 20 m/s2
