  1. Relation between the velocity vector and the acceleration vector of an ...

    Oct 12, 2024 · By knowing the velocity vector at a specific instant, one can determine the angular frequency (ω) and predict the position vector at any future time using the derived equations. The …

  2. Why is the Acceleration vector perpendicular to the tangent

    Nov 29, 2011 · The confusion arises in understanding that the acceleration vector is only perpendicular to the velocity vector in cases of circular motion, where the speed remains constant but the direction …

  3. Direction of car's average acceleration vector as it turns

    Jan 13, 2014 · The discussion centers on determining the direction of a car's average acceleration vector as it rounds a 90-degree curve while maintaining a constant speed. The initial velocity vector …

  4. Uniform Circular Motion Around an Oval: Understanding Acceleration ...

    Oct 19, 2005 · This discussion clarifies the behavior of acceleration vectors in uniform circular motion (UCM) and when an object moves along an oval path. In UCM, acceleration remains perpendicular …

  5. Why does radial acceleration act toward the center?

    Jan 27, 2019 · Acceleration of a rotating link has two components,Tangential (change in the direction) Radial (change in the magnitude). Why the direction of Radial acceleration is considered towards …

  6. Acceleration of an object is always directed perpendicular to its ...

    Feb 6, 2013 · The acceleration vector is always directed downward, perpendicular to the velocity vector, which does not imply that the object is speeding up in terms of increasing speed. Instead, the …

  7. Calculate Position & Acceleration Vectors of Bird in xy-Plane

    Jan 30, 2007 · The acceleration vector is obtained by differentiating the velocity vector, yielding a (t) = (-3.2t)i + (4.0)j. The bird's altitude when it first crosses x=0 after t=0 occurs at t=1, resulting in a y …

  8. Acceleration perpendicular to velocity - Physics Forums

    Dec 27, 2013 · The discussion centers on the concept of acceleration being perpendicular to velocity, particularly in the context of uniform circular motion. Participants highlight that while acceleration is …

  9. Average acceleration of the a particle in circular motion

    Oct 10, 2016 · In cases of constant tangential acceleration, the average force can be expressed as |\vec {F}_ {avg}| = ma, where a is the tangential acceleration. The confusion arises from the interpretation …

  10. Is the Angle Between Acceleration and Velocity Vector Greater Than 90 ...

    Dec 8, 2010 · One component of the acceleration vector points inward toward the center of the curvature (centripetal acceleration), and the other acceleration component (at a right angle to the centripetal …
