I agree with you @Aparna.

Yoga said:   10 years ago
Acceleration a = V2/r = (1/r2)2/r = 1/r5.

Aparna said:   10 years ago
v2/r but; v = 1/r2 so v = 1/r4+1; v = 1/r5.

I cannot understand this concept. Can anybody elaborate me please?

Dileep barnwal said:   1 decade ago
Acceleration a = v*(dv/ds).
=> ao < 1/r5.

When the acceleration was take place on frist line.

Mohan said:   1 decade ago
From Fluid kinematics. For radial flow the normal acceleration is An = dvn/ds+Vr2/r,

Acceleration is proportionate to V2/r, therefore 1/r5.
