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

Remember, you've got to keep track of the sign of acceleration, so if you're picking up speed towards the ground, a is negative, so it will be g plus a, but a is a negative number.

记住,一定要注意加速度的符号,所以当你加速下降的时候,a 是负的,还是 g 加上 a,但是 a 是负数
