I've been able to derive the centripetal & transverse accelerations, and I understand how the radius of curvature is the reciprocal of the curvature, and that to get the radial & Coriolis acceleration, I need to get the time derivatives of the radius of curvature, but I don't see exactly how they come out. I also understand how to derive these in a rotating reference frame, but it seems that somehow they should also come out of the Frénet–Serret analysis. Or maybe I am wrong on this?
