Asked by Topperlearning User | 04 Jun, 2014, 01:23: PM
answered-by-expert Expert Answer
(i)    Linear acceleration is defined as the rate of change of linear velocity whereas centripetal acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity in circular motion.  
(ii)    Linear acceleration acts in the direction of motion of the body while  centripetal acceleration acts towards the centre of the circular path along its radius.

a ball is tied at one end of a string, the other end is tied at the centre of the merry go round. if the string breaks, the person standing outside the merry go round will observe that the ball is moving in a straight line, whereas the person standing on the merry go round observes that the ball always remains in front of him radially away from him. explain the reason for each. how is centrifugal force acting in the second case?
