Tangential Acceleration
Tangential acceleration, abbreviated as \(a_t\), is how much the tangential velocity of a point at a radius changes with time.
Tangential Acceleration formulas
\(\large{ a_t = r \; \alpha }\) | |
\(\large{ a_t = \frac { d \omega } { d t } }\) |
Where:
\(\large{ a_t }\) = tangential acceleration
\(\large{ \alpha }\) (Greek symbol alpha) = angular acceleration
\(\large{ d \omega }\) (Greek symbol omega) = angular velocity differential
\(\large{ r }\) = radius of object rotation
\(\large{ dt }\) = time differential
