Repeat Problem 87, now generalizing to the case where not only the speed but also the radius may be changing.
87. In dealing with nonuniform circular motion, as shown in Fig. 3.23, we should write Equation 3.16 as ar = v2/r, to show that this is only the radial component of the acceleration. Recognizing that v is the object’s speed, which changes only in the presence of tangential acceleration, differentiate this equation with respect to time to find a relation between the magnitude of the tangential acceleration and the rate of change of the magnitude of the radial acceleration. Assume the radius stays constant.
