Question

derive an expression for linear acceleration of the particle performing non uniform circular motion​

Answer 1

◆ Linear acceleration -

- In non-uniform circular motion, acceleration has two components.

1. Centripetal acceleration

2. Tangential acceleration

- These two components of acceleration are perpendicular to each other.

# Centripetal acceleration -

- It's direction is along the radius of circle and magnitude is given by -

ac = v^2/r

# Tangential acceleration -

- It's direction is along tangent to a point on circle and magnitude is given by -

at = rα
