    Components of acceleration for particle in circular motion
    Find the components a_T and a_N of the acceleration vector of a particle moving along a circular path of radius R= 100 cm with constant velocity v0= 5 cm/s.

    For a particle moving in a circular motion of constant radius the acceleration has two components. In the radial direction it's , which is also equal to . In the tangential direction it's where = the rotational acceleration, which in this case is 0 (since veloicty is constant).

    BTW - I edited the subject of this thread to make it a little more specific.
