Centripetal Acceleration Using Rotation Speed

Centripetal acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time as it moves in a circular path.

Centripetal acceleration equals rotational speed squared divided by the radius of the path.

Formula

QuantityVariable["a", "Acceleration"] == QuantityVariable["v", "Speed"]^2/QuantityVariable["r", "Radius"]

symbol description physical quantity
a centripetal acceleration "Acceleration"
r radius "Radius"
v rotation speed "Speed"
