Velocity is always TANGENT to the path. Acceleration, in general, has BOTH tangential and normal components. The normal component of acceleration always points INWARD to the path. The tangential ...
NASA has confirmed an unusual acceleration in the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS during its closest approach to the Sun on ...
The normal component of acceleration is known as the “centripetal” component. It is proportional to the square of the speed, and inversely proportional to the radius of curvature of the path. The ...
