#2 m/s^2#

Explanation:

For uniform circular motion the acceleration (#a#) can be calculated as a function of the velocity (#v#) and the radius (#r#).
#a = v^2/r#
The mass of the object is not needed in this calculation.
#a = (1m/s)^2/(0.5m)#
#a = 2 m/s^2#

If you wanted to calculate the force required to maintain this motion, then you only need to know that #F = ma#. This mass in this case is #0.010 kg#.
#F = 0.010 * 2 = 0.02 N#
