What is the normal acceleration of body in non uniform circular motion

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The normal acceleration of a body in non-uniform circular motion, particularly when experiencing uniform tangential acceleration, is not constant. While the formula for normal acceleration in uniform circular motion is V²/r, in non-uniform motion, the total acceleration is the vector sum of tangential and normal components. This results in a more complex calculation that requires understanding both the tangential acceleration and the changing velocity of the body.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of circular motion dynamics
  • Familiarity with vector addition in physics
  • Knowledge of tangential and normal acceleration concepts
  • Basic calculus for analyzing motion equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of non-uniform circular motion

USEFUL FOR

Physics students, educators, and professionals in engineering or mechanics who seek to deepen their understanding of circular motion dynamics and its applications.

when the body rotates with uniform motion then the normal acceleration is V^2/r. but what is the normal acceleration when the motion is in non uniform circular motion let's say when body has uniform tangential acceleration.
