Dynamics: Tangential and Normal Accelerations

This lecture covers the concepts of tangential and normal accelerations in dynamics, focusing on the acceleration along a trajectory and the centripetal acceleration. It explains the decomposition of acceleration into tangential and normal components, the relationship between velocity and acceleration, and the calculation of acceleration using scalar product and the rate of change of a product. The lecture also discusses the acceleration's direction, the radius of curvature, and the conditions for a vehicle to lose contact with the ground during a turn.
