the value of a

the value of a must also be in

express all angles in radian. One way
change rad into degree using p rad = ° 180 .
3. During motion of an object along a curved
path the speed and magnitude of its radial
acceleration may remain constant. Due to
change in direction of motion the velocity
of the object will change even if its speed
is constant. Further, the acceleration will
also change even if the speed is constant.

the value of a
must be in rad s
-2
. But, if w
0
and w are in
degree s
-1
the value of a must also be in
degree s
-2
. Thus, it is not necessary to
express all angles in radian. One way
change rad into degree using p rad = ° 180 .
3. During motion of an object along a curved
path the speed and magnitude of its radial
acceleration may remain constant. Due to
change in direction of motion the velocity
of the object will change even if its speed
is constant. Further, the acceleration will
also change even if the speed is constant.
