Answer:

The units of measurement are as follows: 1. Radians per second squared 2. Meters per second squared Symbolically, these two units are written as ωs-2 or ms-2,respectively.

Let’s suppose that your child is on a merry-go-round. The direction of the velocity vector taken from your position will be tangential to the circular path in which the merry-go-round is making rounds. However, the centripetal acceleration points radially inwards or towards the center, which is what makes you go round. And from the formula.

Radial acceleration is always along normal to the instantaneous velocity. Radial acceleration is always directed towards the instantaneous center of curvature of the trajectory. Radial or centripetal acceleration is never defined only for circular motion, it may be defined for any type. The magnitude of radial acceleration at any instant is v2/r where v is the speed and r is the radius.

Angular acceleration can be divided into Radial and Tangential acceleration

Radial acceleration shall be defined as an acceleration of an object that is directed towards the center.

If Radians per second square which is represented as ωs-2 is how Radial Acceleration is measured.

Radial acceleration is also known as Centripetal Acceleration.
