Question

Are linear acceleration and tangential acceleration the same?

Answer 1

If an object is rotating at angular velocity and angular acceleration , then a point at distance from the axis of rotation will have speed , tangential acceleration , and centripetal acceleration . The linear acceleration of that point is the vector sum of these two perpendicular components of the acceleration.

Answer 2

Answer:

If an object is rotating at angular velocity and angular acceleration, then a point at distance from the axis of rotation will have speed, tangential acceleration, and centripetal acceleration. The linear acceleration of that point is the vector sum of these two perpendicular components of the acceleration.
