As we learnt in

Centripetal acceleration -

When a body is moving in a uniform circular motion, a force is responsible to change direction of its velocity.This force acts towards the centre of circle and is called centripetal force.Acceleration produced by this force is centripetal acceleration.

a= \frac{v^{2}}{r}

- wherein

Figure Shows Centripetal acceleration

 

 a=\frac{v^2}{r}   \because \left | \vec{v} \right |= constant

a\propto \frac{1}{r} or ar = constant
