The centripetal acceleration is greater for a gentle curve than that for sharp curve.

The centripetal acceleration of the object is smaller for a gentle curve (i.e., curve of larger radius) than that for a sharp curve (i.e., curve of smaller radius).

The centripetal acceleration is the same for both, the gentle and sharp curves
