Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared …

Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared (m/s^2).

Visual understanding of how centripetal acceleration relates to velocity and radius

Learn how to interpret the motion of an object represented on an acceleration vs. time graph.

What I want to do in this video is a calculus proof of the famous centripetal acceleration formula that tells us the magnitude of centripetal acceleration, the actual direction will change it's always going to be …

Thanks to Newton’s second law, we know that there is a relationship between force and acceleration, namely F = M × A , or A = F / M , and we can use that relationship with the formula above to compute …

Review the key concepts, equations, and skills for centripetal motion, including intuition for the direction of centripetal acceleration.
