Why do you feel a sideways acceleration when turning a corner in a car
? In uniform circular motion, the direction of velocity constantly changes, resulting in centripetal acceleration that points directly toward the center of rotation
. We derive the formulas for centripetal acceleration using linear and angular velocity
. Learn how these concepts apply to modern centrifuges used in medicine
.
