Answer;

D) A player spins a basketball on his finger.

  • Centripetal acceleration is a type of acceleration that is experienced when an object or a body is in circular motion as a result of centripetal force. This type of accelerations occurs towards the center of a circular path along the radius of the circular path followed by an object.
  • When a player spins a basketball on his finger, centripetal acceleration is involved due to the rate of change of angular velocity that results from centripetal force as the basket ball moves through a fixed circular path.
