    The two quantities are closely related, but the cause/effect is the other way around.

    - - The centripetal force is caused by something outside this discussion, not by the object.

    - - The centripetal force acting on the object determines the object's centripetal acceleration.

    - - The centripetal acceleration is the cause of whatever the object's velocity (speed and direction) turns out to be.

    - - It's the centripetal acceleration that has the effect on the object's velocity.

    As an example, you wouldn't say that the orbiting of a TV satellite is what causes the Earth's centripetal force that acts on it.

    as centripatal force acts upon an object moving at a circle in constant speed de force acts always inwards as de velocity of object is directed tangent to de circle de force can accelerate de object by changing its direction bt not actually de speed
