Proving that a = v^2/r

Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared …

Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared (m/s^2).

What I want to do in this video is a calculus proof of the famous centripetal acceleration formula that tells us the magnitude of centripetal acceleration, the actual direction will change it's always going to be …

Review the key concepts, equations, and skills for centripetal motion, including intuition for the direction of centripetal acceleration.

Well, just from the definition of acceleration, change in velocity is equal to acceleration-- negative 9.8 meters per second squared-- times time, or times change in time. We're just talking about the first …

Visual understanding of how centripetal acceleration relates to velocity and radius
