200 #ms^-2 #

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration of a body revolving in a circular orbit is always directed towards the center of the circle.

If v is the velocity of the body and r is the radius of the circular path then the centripetal acceleration is given by #v^2/r#

Substituting the values of velocity and radius of the circular path

we got #20^2/2#

#=>400/2=>200ms^-2#
