one need to identify dependent and independent variables before derivaive

Circular motion at constant speed, v leads to ac = v2/r It may surprise you to learn that when a mass moves around a circle of radius r at constant speed, v, it is still accelearting because its DIRECTION is changing.

Circular motion at constant speed, v leads to ac = v2/r It may surprise you to learn that when a mass moves around a circle of radius r at constant speed, v, it is still accelearting because its DIRECTION is changing. This change in direction leads to a change in velocity because velocity is a vector! When velocity changes, there is always an acceleration given by, ~aav = ~vf ? ~vi ?t (1) By using similar triangles it is possible to show that (see page 199 of text and/or go to lecture), ?v v= ?s r(2) so that ~ac = v r ?s ?t = v2r(3) where ac is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration. Its direction is toward the center of the circle. This acceleration must be provided by a force, which in the case of a mass on a string is provided by the tension in the string. If this force is removed, the mass goes in a straight line. In the case of a car going around a corner, the force is produced by the tires on the road read less

It can be obtained if one knows about the terms involved in centripetal accelaration

Before derivation of it first we should know about centripetal force and terms like speed velocity ......
