Motion in the Plane: Acceleration and Trajectory

This lecture covers the concepts of acceleration and trajectory in the context of motion in the plane. It discusses how acceleration is a vector directed towards the center of a turn, and how it can be a function of time. Examples are provided to illustrate how objects move and accelerate in different scenarios, such as free fall and turning left. The lecture also delves into specific cases, like objects passing through a point with constant acceleration. Equations for uniformly accelerated motion are presented, along with discussions on projectile motion and parabolic trajectories.
