Question

multiple choice question
a car drives along a circular path at a constant speed. the direction of the cars centripetal acceleration is, by definition,
toward the center of the circle.
away from the center of the circle.
parallel to the cars velocity.

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration acts to keep an object moving in a circular path. By definition, it is always directed towards the center of the circle that the object is traversing. It changes the direction of the velocity vector to maintain circular motion.

Answer:

toward the center of the circle.
