Hello all,
I need help to understand non-uniform circular motion. I know there's a centripetal acceleration and a tangential acceleration and the result of both are the acceleration. But what I don't understand is how can I find the tangential acceleration. I've been searching for a while now and some sites says with the slope of the acceleration (how can I find this if I don't know the total acceleration) and some says dv/dt. Please someone enlighten me on this with explanations and perhaps an example because I have an exam in 3 days and I must master this.
Thanks a lot
