  1. A simple derivation of the Centripetal Acceleration Formula?

    Jul 12, 2015 · Notice that after one full turn the change in position is also zero. What we are interested in here really the average value of the instantaneous acceleration, but to get it requires calculus (or at …

  2. Why is acceleration's formula's denominator squared?

    Mar 20, 2025 · The acceleration can change over time and this is why this approximation breaks down if the acceleration changes too much within the time interval. If you want to know more about this kind …

  3. Intuitive explanation for why centripetal acceleration is $\frac {v^2 ...

    Jun 21, 2015 · There are several ways to write centripetal acceleration $$\frac {v^2} {r} = \omega^2 r = v \omega$$ Are there intuitive explanations for any of these three forms?

  4. Proof of centripetal acceleration formula ($a_c = v^2/r$) for non ...

    Jun 21, 2015 · Proof of centripetal acceleration formula (ac = v2/r a c = v 2 / r) for non-uniform circular motion Ask Question Asked 11 years, 5 months ago Modified 1 year, 6 months ago

  5. rotational dynamics - Linear acceleration vs angular acceleration ...

    It's the magnitude of the linear acceleration towards the centre of an object following a circular path at constant angular velocity. Angular acceleration is the derivative of angular velocity, and the analogue …

  6. Distance formula using initial velocity and acceleration

    Distance formula using initial velocity and acceleration Ask Question Asked 9 years, 9 months ago Modified 2 years, 1 month ago

  7. kinematics - What does the magnitude of the acceleration mean ...

    Feb 9, 2014 · The magnitude of the acceleration vector along the path is the time rate of change of speed. The magnitude of the acceleration vector normal to the path is the centripetal acceleration as …

  8. Acceleration in special relativity - Physics Stack Exchange

    More exactly, we first derived the equation of motion in the 4-vector formalism. I was a bit confused when my teacher talked about acceleration in special relativity. In which cases are we allowed to talk …

  9. fluid dynamics - What is Convective acceleration of flow velocity ...

    What is Convective acceleration of flow velocity? Ask Question Asked 12 years, 7 months ago Modified 8 years, 2 months ago

  10. What is total acceleration? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Feb 20, 2016 · In this problem, I know the tangential acceleration is what's causing the increase in velocity of the car, the centripetal acceleration is what's causing the car to turn seeking the center. …
