CMS - Physique (Sauser): Motion in the Plane

This lecture covers the concept of motion in the plane, focusing on acceleration, velocity, and displacement. The instructor explains the difference between average and instantaneous acceleration, emphasizing the direction of acceleration in a turn. The lecture also delves into the relationship between acceleration and velocity, illustrating how acceleration affects the change in velocity over time. Additionally, the instructor discusses the concept of tangential acceleration and its significance in determining the direction of motion. The lecture concludes by exploring the implications of acceleration on the trajectory of an object, particularly during turns.
