Rotational Angle and Angular Velocity

The rotational angle is a measure of how far an object rotates, and angular velocity measures how fast it rotates.

Centripetial Acceleration

Centripetal acceleration is the constant change in velocity necessary for an object to maintain a circular path.

Centripetal Force

A force which causes motion in a curved path is called a centripetal force (uniform circular motion is an example of centripetal force).
