Centripetal Acceleration Derivation

The video tutorial explains centripetal acceleration and force, starting with Newton's second law. It derives the equation for centripetal acceleration using average linear acceleration and explores the roles of angular and tangential velocity. Vector diagrams and isosceles triangles are used to illustrate the concepts, leading to the final derivation of the centripetal acceleration equation.
