Question

Write brief information about Tangential acceleration ?

Answer 1

n rotational motion, tangential acceleration is a measure of how quickly a tangential velocity changes. It always acts perpendicular to the centripetal acceleration of a rotating object. It is equal to the angular acceleration α, times the radius of the rotation.

atan = rα

atan = tangential acceleration

r = radius of the object's rotation

α = angular acceleration, with units radians/s2

Answer 2

Tangential acceleration is the component of acceleration directed along the tangent of circle is called tangential acceleration . It is responsible for changing speed of the particle .

$a = r \alpha$
here alpha is angular acceleration
