    The document discusses the tangential and normal components of acceleration for a particle moving along a path. It states that the velocity vector is tangent to the path, while the acceleration vector is not necessarily tangent. It describes how the tangential component reflects changes in speed and the normal component reflects changes in direction, with the normal component always pointing toward the center of curvature. It also mentions that the acceleration has no component along the binormal and that the plane containing the tangential and normal unit vectors is called the osculating plane.

    Tangential and Normal Components
    • Velocity vector of particle is tangent to path of 
    particle.  In general, acceleration vector is not.   
    Wish to express acceleration vector in terms of 
    tangential and normal components.

    Tangential and Normal Components

    • Tangential component of acceleration reflects 
    change of speed and normal component reflects 
    change of direction.

    • Tangential component may be positive or 
    negative.  Normal component always points 
    toward center of path curvature.

    Tangential and Normal Components

    • Plane containing tangential and normal unit 
    vectors is called the osculating plane.

    • Acceleration has no component along binormal.

    Sample Problem 11.10
    SOLUTION:
    • Calculate tangential and normal 
    components of acceleration.

    • Determine acceleration magnitude and 
    direction with respect to tangent to curve.

    A motorist is traveling on curved section of highway at 60 mph.  The motorist applies brakes causing 
    a constant deceleration rate.  
    Knowing that after 8 s the speed has been reduced to 45 mph, determine the acceleration of the 
    automobile immediately after the brakes are applied.
