You can take circles of different size and place them against your trajectory and see which one fits.

你可以做不同大小的圆周运动,然后把它们放到你的轨迹上,看哪一个匹配

We're describing the motion of a particle in a circle.

我们描述了圆周上一个点的运动

耶鲁公开课 - 基础物理课程节选

When a particle moves in a circle, it has an acceleration towards the center of this size, v^2 over R.

当一个质点在圆周上运动时,它有一个指向圆心的加速度,v^2 / R

It tells you when a particle moves in a circle, it has an acceleration in a negative R direction, namely directed towards the center.

它告诉你当一个物体在圆周上运动时,它有一个在 -R 方向的加速度,也就是说是直接指向圆心的

If it's going in a circle, you will say from now on, that it, indeed, has an acceleration, even though no one's stepping on the accelerator, of amount v^2 over R.

如果它在一个圆周上运动,你会说从现在起它其实有加速度,即使没有人去踩油门,加速度大小为 v^2 / R
