Visual understanding of how centripetal acceleration relates to velocity and radius

Niki and Megan share the right hand rule for angular velocity vectors. This visual demonstration employed a bicycle wheel and Niki's right hand. This clip could be a helpful way to demonstrate the right hand rule in class. You could have...

Video tutorial uses examples and formulas to show how to derive displacement as a function of time, constant acceleration, and initial velocity. [9:57]

Scholars build robotic arms that swing back and forth and use them to collect velocity and acceleration data. To analyze the results, pupils compare data to the equations for angular velocity and centripetal acceleration.

Sal Khan solves two problems centering on finding the change in centripetal acceleration from the change in linear speed, and an example of finding the change in centripetal acceleration from the change in radius. [4:56]

A video explaining how acceleration is change in velocity over time. Video also includes examples of how to solve for the vector quantity of acceleration. [9:05]

Learn what centripetal forces are and how to calculate them. Included are two problems with the solutions provided.

Sal Khan discusses deriving displacement as a function of time, constant acceleration, and initial velocity in this video. [9:57]

This video builds off of part 1 where the radius of the circle traveled by the proton calculated by using the formula for centripetal acceleration. [10:39]
