Simplest Derivation In YouTube!
And His *AHKH LENGHT* and *THITA* can be remember so quickly.

You know it's a good video when UK students are watching before their A Levels. :-) Nice one!

This was actually a really simple and easy derivation. Nice. I wish I had payed more attention in my geometry classes. For some reason geometrical derivations are challenging to me. Intuitively I understand what is being done, but I just have trouble with the mathematics itself.

All indian watching one day before examination : ratta maar ree 😂😂

[arnavrevankar]

Wow! This is the best derivation for centripetal acceleration that I found! Thanks!

[pipertripp]

That was a very simple and elegant derivation. Much simpler than the position vector approach that I'm more familiar with. Well done and it took less than 4 minutes.

[henryfolds]

Fantastic derivation, really clear - I used it to teach my students!

[bensmid]

This is absolutely fantastic. After confusing lecture videos, and not following Khan, this was fantastic and succint.

Better than most and to the point geometric derivation using similar triangles. He does equate subtended arc with subtended chord by using limit angle theta which many presenters don't.

Thank you so much. You are the only person to explain this thoroughly enough for me to understand. The book im using said that (delta v) points to the center but didn't explain or show how like you did. Thanks.

[abhilashp]

This derivation is very much amazing and to the point analogy was lucid and very Good!!!!

[Sindurkurup]

Thankyou so much. I've been searching all over youtube to find a good explanation. You made it. And that was the simplest explanation I've so far founded. Thanks

[Aristothink]

Impressive proof of this formula that most Physics courses don't mention or when they do it takes forever. PERFERCT ! Congratulations

[rouxuan]

the best video i found in yt about centripetal acceleration

[keerthisumanasiri]

I am really above moon as I have been struggling to understand this scenario and luckily I came across this site. Huge thanks.

[peterwalker]

Really good! Thank you. A-level Physics teacher, 20 years experience.

I have exams in one more hour and this helps a ton… this is a frequently repeated question

[NonefYurConcern]

God bless you😢, if every one on net was just straight forward like you, world would be a different place 😢😢

thank you so much, you were the only channel who could explain it in a basic way

[hplsqyd]

That was a great explanation. So much better than reading it in a book. Thanks.
