Answer:
If the object is making circular motion, it can accelerate towards the center while it is moving around the center.
Explanation:
In circular motion, the object is moving on a circular orbit around the center with velocity v. Then the radial acceleration is
[tex]a_{rad} = \frac{v^2}{R}[/tex]
This is called the centripetal acceleration.
For example, if you tie a ball with a string and rotate the ball circularly you can feel the tension in the string. This tension is equal to [tex]\frac{mv^2}{R}[/tex] according to Newton's Second Law.
