  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. 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, 7 months ago Modified 1 year, 8 months ago

  4. How can you find average velocity from acceleration and time?

    Nov 28, 2021 · 0 Actually the formula which you are using will be applicable for constant acceleration also. Let initial velocity will be u u and constant acceleration be a a then distance travelled in t t …

  5. How to get distance when acceleration is not constant?

    The acceleration is obviously not constant, but what about the change in acceleration? Is it constant? I suspect not. And then what about the change in the change of acceleration, etc. etc.? In other words, …

  6. 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?

  7. quadratics - General equation to calculate time required to travel a ...

    Aug 19, 2024 · I need to know the time t t it takes for a ship to travel a given distance d d, with an initial speed Vi V i and a constant acceleration a a. This post seems to give an answer by deriving the …

  8. Distance formula using initial velocity and acceleration

    Distance formula using initial velocity and acceleration Ask Question Asked 9 years, 11 months ago Modified 2 years, 3 months ago

  9. What is the relation between angular and linear acceleration?

    Apr 23, 2017 · 10 I am wondering, when solving rigid body exercises, how can I express the relationship between linear and angular acceleration for a general case? E.g. what would be the linear …

  10. 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 …
