How to compute linear acceleration in 3D from change in roll, pitch and yaw angles?

We know that if a body is rotating only about $z$-axis along a circle of radius $R$ with an angular rate of $\omega$, then the acceleration of the body in 3D is $a = [0.0\ \ \omega^2R \ \ 0.0]$. Now ...

Intuition for formula of tangential component of acceleration in general curvillinear motion

In certain problems of plane motion, the position of the particle P is defined by its polar coordinates $r$ and $\theta$. It is then convenient to resolve the velocity and acceleration of the particle ...
