The correct answer is Speed.Key Points

  • The equation ac = v2/R provides the centripetal acceleration of an object moving in a circular path.
  • Here, 'v' represents the speed or velocity of the object.
  • The unit of speed is meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).

Additional Information

  • Distance is the total length covered by an object in motion and is measured in meters (m) or kilometers (km).
  • Surface area is the total area occupied by the surface of an object and is measured in square units like square meters (m2) or square centimeters (cm2).
  • Intensity is the measure of the strength or power of a phenomenon such as light, sound, or radiation and is measured in units like watts per square meter (W/m2) or decibels (dB).
