Centripetal Acceleration Derivation

We derive both the direction and the equation for centripetal acceleration. Want Lecture Notes? www.flippingphysics.com/centri... This is an AP Physics C: Mechanics topic.

    Wonderful. Loved how you took it from AP1 up to APC by finding the value for the magnitude.

    Thanks. I love being able to actually show this to students. I look forward to sharing it with my non-APPhysicsC students as well. I _always_ get asked about the direction of centripetal acceleration and now I have a video which shows exactly how it is derived. Quite happy about it. 😀

    This is the most missing part in my classic physics. Thank you!

    god knows how much we are a part of or even at different continents but I still find that your explications are rather better than my college professors, Thank you so much also I really appreciate the other characters' questions it is really keeping me on track and asking the same question as what we might've asked. 😄

    Great video! I expect that the animations in the diagrams are going to be really helpful for students.

    Also I really appreciate the distinction between vectors and scalars here (and also the quick mention of why we still call it "v" even though it's now just speed).

    Thanks. Your insistence has helped me to be more careful and clear like that!

    at 4:43, you say "radius of the chip" instead of "position." I think it should be "position," but the diagram makes it clear what you mean so it isn't too important to me.

    Oh and you definitely say "position" shortly after, so now I really don't care.

    I had noticed that as well in post, however, it also felt it was clear enough as is.

    So basically centripetal acceleration is rate of change of direction?

    but why theta is same. is there any theorem for that, please explain this. everyone explains the derivation but no one explains this theorem.

    That’s because the v initial and v final are both tangent to the circle and the triangle formed is isosceles. If the angle subtended at the centre is theta then the remaining ones are (pi-theta)/2 now because the tangent line is at pi/2 or 90 degrees to the radius you subtract pi-theta)/2 from pi/2 to get the angle we want which is theta!
