At point A:
 
Velocity at A = Velocity due to linear motion of the cylinder + Rotating velocity of the cylinder (both with magnitude v)
Velocity at A = v + v = 2v
The radial acceleration(centripetal acceleration) experienced at point A will be begin mathsize 12px style straight v squared over straight r end style
begin mathsize 12px style The space radii space of space curvature space traced space by space the space point space straight A space can space be space obtained space by colon straight R subscript 1 space equals space fraction numerator open parentheses 2 straight v close parentheses squared over denominator normal space acceleration end fraction equals fraction numerator 4 straight v squared over denominator begin display style straight v squared over straight r end style end fraction straight R subscript 1 space equals 4 space straight r end style
 
 
At point B: 
 
Velocity at B, 
 
begin mathsize 12px style straight v subscript straight B equals square root of straight v squared plus straight v squared end root space space space space equals v square root of 2 end style
The tangential velocity vector makes an angle 45º with the vertical. The ardial vector of the accelertion also makes an angle 45º with the vertical.
