Explanation:

Newton's second law \(F = ma\) applies. In circular motion, centripetal force (\(F_c\)) causes centripetal acceleration (\(a_c\)). The direction of force (centripetal force) is the same as the direction of acceleration (centripetal acceleration). Both are directed toward the center of the circular path.

Answer:

centripetal force; centripetal acceleration; center
