Question

What is the difference between acceleration and linear acceleration?

Answer 1

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object traveling in a circle, while linear acceleration is the acceleration of an object traveling in a straight line. ... Meanwhile linear acceleration is the rate of change of linear velocity, which is the velocity of an object traveling in a straight line.

Answer 2

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object traveling in a circle, while linear acceleration is the acceleration of an object traveling in a straight line.
