Abstract
In this study, a topic in Engineering Mechanics was examined. The mathematical formulas correlating the normal and tangential components, <span id="cke_bm_84S" style="display: none;"> </span><em>a<sub>n</sub></em><span id="cke_bm_84E" style="display: none;"> </span> and <em>a<sub>t</sub></em>, of acceleration with its rectangular components, <em>a<sub>x</sub></em> and <em>a<sub>y</sub></em>, were derived. This study will provide engineering practitioners, teachers, and <span id="cke_bm_85E" style="display: none;"> </span>students with additional tools in solving problems in curvilinear motions.
Keywords
