Elementary derivations of centripetal acceleration and works of Huygens and Newton: a revisit with a simple physical derivation
Abstract
This work shows how two simple derivations of the centripetal acceleration are fundamentally related to seminal works of Huygens and Newton. A different, more physically motivated derivation is then given.
