Question
What is the value of tangential acceleration in U.C.M.?
Solution
The concept of tangential acceleration is used to measure the change in the tangential velocity of a point with a specific radius with the change in time. The linear and tangential accelerations are the same but in the tangential direction which leads to circular motion. Tangential acceleration is defined as the rate of change of tangential velocity of the matter in the circular path.
Tangential Acceleration Formula:
`"a"_"t" = (triangle "v")/(triangle "t")`
Formula for Tangential Acceleration In Terms Of Distance
`"a"_"t" = ("d"^2"s")/("dt"^2)` or
`"a"_"t" = "v" . "dv"/"ds"`
