Tangential Acceleration in Kinematics of Motion Formulas

Tangential Acceleration is the rate of change of tangential velocity of an object moving in a circular path, describing its acceleration along the direction of motion. And is denoted by a_t. Tangential Acceleration is usually measured using the Meter per Square Second for Acceleration. Note that the value of Tangential Acceleration is always negative.
