Question
Linear acceleration and radial acceleration are same? Do they both mean towards centre? Can they be used with velocity too?
Open in App
Solution
No
,
linear
and
radial
accelerations
are
not
same
.
In
the
case
of
rotational
motion
or
circular
motion
,
the
linear
acceleration
has
two
different
components
,
namely
,
tangential
and
radial
accelerations
.
Radial
acceleration
:
It
is
the
acceleration
acts
along
the
radius
and
towards
the
centre
of
the
circle
.
Tangential
acceleration
:
It
is
the
acceleration
which
is
tangential
to
the
No
,
they
can
'
t
be
used
with
velocity
in
the
case
of
rotational
motion
.
