normaalikiihtyvyyteen
Normaalikiihtyvyyteen is a Finnish term that translates to "normal acceleration" or "centripetal acceleration" in English. It refers to the component of acceleration that is perpendicular to the velocity of an object and points towards the center of curvature of the object's path. This acceleration is responsible for changing the direction of the object's velocity, not its speed.
An object experiencing normal acceleration is undergoing curvilinear motion. A classic example is an object moving
The magnitude of normal acceleration is given by the formula a_n = v^2 / r, where 'v' is
Normal acceleration is a fundamental concept in physics, particularly in the study of circular motion and rotational
