This particle is constantly changing its direction, but it therefore has an acceleration and the acceleration, we have shown here, is pointing towards the center.

这个质点恒定地改变它的运动方向,因此它具有加速度,而且这个加速度,我们前面也讲过了,指向圆心

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 you want to write it as a vector equation, you want to write it as v square over r minus-- I want to say that it's pointing in the direction toward the center.

如果要写出矢量方程,就应该写成 -v^2 / r,也就是说,方向就向圆心
