The formula to calculate the Radial Acceleration (Ar) is:
\[ \text{Ar} = \frac{\text{At}}{\text{r}} \]
Where:
In the International System of Units, also known as SI units, the units for Radial Acceleration are rad/s².
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate the Radial Acceleration:
\[ \text{Ar} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \, \text{rad/s²} \]
This demonstrates that with a tangential acceleration of 8 m/s² and a radius of 2 meters, the radial acceleration would be 4 rad/s².
