As expected, the acceleration of P has both non-zero tangential and normal components. From the equation provided for speed as a function of distance traveled, the speed of P is monotonically ...

The normal component of acceleration is known as the “centripetal” component. It is proportional to the square of the speed, and inversely proportional to the radius of curvature of the path. The ...

Proposed mechanical advantage of sutured interface: (a) Straight interface with penetration by sharp tooth separating neighboring scutes; (b) Sutured interface with force F having tangential and ...
