ok can anyone please help me derive the acceleration towards the centre of a body in circular motion a=v^2/r, ? thanks a ton.
The acceleration towards the centre of a circular motion is the change in velocity of an object as it moves around a circular path. It is always directed towards the centre of the circle and is perpendicular to the object's velocity at any given point.
Acceleration towards the centre of a circular motion can be calculated using the formula a = v²/r, where a is acceleration, v is velocity, and r is the radius of the circle.
The primary cause of acceleration towards the centre of a circular motion is the centripetal force, which is a force that acts towards the centre of the circle and keeps the object in its circular path.
Yes, acceleration towards the centre of a circular motion can be negative. This occurs when the object is slowing down or changing direction in its circular path.
The speed of an object does not affect its acceleration towards the centre of a circular motion. However, the velocity (which includes the direction of motion) does affect the acceleration, as a change in velocity will result in a change in acceleration.
