- | The direction of each of these accelerations is the same as their corresponding forces. The tangential acceleration is tangent to the path, and this points in the $\hat{p}$ direction. The centripetal acceleration is perpendicular to the path and points in the $\hat{n}$ direction. You can use the magnitudes of each force component to determine formulae for the accelerations. | + | The direction of each of these accelerations is the same as their corresponding forces.
