The document discusses centripetal acceleration in circular motion. It explains that in uniform circular motion, where an object moves at a constant speed, there is still acceleration even though the speed does not change. This is because the velocity vector is always perpendicular to the position vector, so the direction of the velocity is constantly changing. For non-uniform circular motion, where both speed and direction change, there are two types of acceleration: radial acceleration due to a change in direction, and tangential acceleration due to a change in speed along the tangent line of the circular path.

The motion of an object is called circular motion if its
distance from a fixed points remains constant all the time. The fixed point is called center of the circle and the constant distance is called the radius of the circle. P The circular motion is called uniform circular motion if the object moves with same speed. O
O is the center of the circle
and OP is the radius
Is there any acceleration in uniform circular motion?
Because the velocity vector v is always perpendicular to the
position vector r Therefore, the two triangles are similar. (Two triangles are similar if the angle between any two sides is the same for both triangles and if the ratio of the lengths of these sides is the same.)

In non-uniform circular motion both the magnitude and
direction of velocity change. The change in direction leads to radial acceleration
The change in magnitude leads to tangential acceleration
because of velocity direction along the tangent line to the circular path The total acceleration vector can be written as the vector sum of the component vectors:
