I am looking to understand more about ##a=(\ddot{r}-r(\ddot{\theta})^2)\hat{r}+(r\ddot{\theta}+2\dot{r}\dot{\theta})\hat{\theta}##
I understand the terms ##\ddot{r}## and ##r\ddot{\theta}## ,but why ##-r(\ddot{\theta})^2## has opposite direction to ##\hat{r}## and why ##2\dot{r}\dot{\theta}## is multiply by 2
