Circular Motion
Centripetal (radial)
Centripetal acceleration and force is directed towards the center. It refers to a change in direction. ac = v2 r mv2 r
Velocity

Tangential
Tangential acceleration is tangent to the objects motion. It refers to a change in speed.
Combined
vy = gt atotal = (ac )2 + (at )2
