Math Formula Information

Formula:

a_{\mathrm {c} }={\frac {v^{2}}{r}}

a_{\mathrm {c} }={\frac {v^{2}}{r}}

Name: centripetal acceleration Description:

centripetal acceleration	${\boldsymbol {a}}_{\mathrm {c} }$
speed	$v$	magnitude of velocity of motion
radius	$r$	segment in a circle or sphere from its center to its perimeter or surface and its length
velocity	${\boldsymbol {v}}$	rate of change of the position of an object as a function of time, and the direction of that change
time	$t$	dimension in which events can be ordered from the past through the present into the future
speed	$\|{\boldsymbol {v}}\|$	magnitude of velocity of motion
