(Circular motion) Acceleration is given, so why asked for more? [closed]
The full question is below.
A car starts from rest and moves around a circular track of radius $32.0\,\text m$. Its speed increases at the constant rate of $0.500\,\text{m/s}^2$.
(a) What is the ...

What is the real difference between radial and tangential acceleration?
So in my physics coursebook there are two different kinds of derivation of $\frac{dv}{dt}$ of a particle rotating in a circle. Most of you will know these, they are what is called centripetal/radial ...

Why is acceleration directed inward when an object rotates in a circle?
Somebody (in a video about physics) said that acceleration goes in if you would rotate a ball on a rope around yourself.
The other man (ex Navy SEAL, on YouTube too) said that obviously it goes out, ...

Why normal acceleration doesn't bring a change in speed?
Suppose There's a particle of mass m moving with speed $v_{0}$, at certain moment a force starts acting on it (centripetal force) and it start uniform circular motion
Now every other reference states ...

Proof of Centripetal Acceleration Angle $\theta$ is the same?
The book I am reading shows a proof of centripetal acceleration.
It proceeds to say that the linear velocity is always at a tangent to the radius, so the angle between $V_A$ and $V_B$ is also $\theta$...
