Doc Al said:The radian is a dimensionless quantity. It's a unit of angle (really a ratio) that has no dimension, so the final units of acceleration will be m/s2 as expected. (See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radian#Dimensional_analysis)
Centrifugal acceleration is the acceleration that an object experiences when it is moving in a circular path. It is directed away from the center of the circle and can be calculated using the formula a = ω^2r, where ω is the angular velocity and r is the radius of the circle.
Centrifugal acceleration is the outward acceleration experienced by an object moving in a circular path, while centripetal acceleration is the inward acceleration that keeps the object moving in the circular path. They are equal in magnitude but have opposite directions.
The unit of measurement for centrifugal acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s^2). In the SI system, it can also be expressed in newtons (N) per kilogram (kg).
The larger the radius of the circular path, the lower the centrifugal acceleration will be. This is because as the radius increases, the object has to travel a longer distance in the same amount of time, resulting in a lower angular velocity and therefore a lower centrifugal acceleration.
No, centrifugal acceleration cannot be negative. It is always directed away from the center of the circle and therefore has a positive value. A negative value would indicate that the object is experiencing an acceleration towards the center, which is not possible in a purely circular motion.
