How do you find the Magnitude of tangential acceleration if you have uniform circular motion? I know the formula for Tangential Acceleration; however I have no clue how to apply it to determine the Magnitude?

Do you mean centripetal acceleration? If something is performing uniform circular motion, its tangential acceleration is zero. Or do you mean non-uniform circular motion, which will have a tangential component of acceleration?How do you find the Magnitude of tangential acceleration if you have uniform circular motion?

OK, where v is the speed, not the velocity vector. For uniform circular motion, dv/dt = 0.Im suppose to use At=[dv/dt].
