Tangential and Radial Acceleration

How to describe the acceleration along a curved path in terms of radial and tangential components.

Welcome to Physierge - your concierge for learning physics!
I'm a professor at Rice University where I have taught introductory physics for the past 10 years. This page features short lectures and worked problems that will complement your calculus-based introductory physics courses.
If you are looking for a complete online course with full lectures, demonstrations, homework, exams, and an active discussion forum, consider one of my online classes at edX:

PHYS102x Electricity & Magnetism, part 2

PHYS201x Waves & Optics

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For non-calculus based introductory physics, we have made AP Physics 1, also at edX:

The edX classes were produced by Rice Online (online.rice.edu/) which offers great classes in many areas.
We also work with OpenStax College (openstax.org), who has several free textbooks online, including non-calculus and calculus-based physics.

show it with graph of cone and other various solid figures so we become more to do for Himalayas

[@yipyiphooray339]

what the fuck are you saying mate

[@anilkumarsharma8901]

how acceleration and energy relationship ?????

how'd you know that there was tangential acceleration in that arbitrary path? Or, how did you know that speed wasn't constant (and therefore tang acc doesn't equal zero) like in the first graph

[@Prof-Hafner]

It might be zero the way I described it. You could be moving at constant speed on a curvy path like that so that the tangential is zero. I just wanted to stress that radial is perp to path and tangential is along path.

Where are the problems shown?

[@iwaich]

like particle simulator in game engine

[@anilkumarsharma8901]

It's a parabola or elliptical 👣path👣
