Tangential acceleration is in the direction of velocity - along the circumference of a circle if the object is undergoing circular motion
a = (V2 - V1) / T
Radial acceleration is perpendicular to the direction of motion if the object is not moving in a straight line (perhaps along the circumference of a circle)
a = m V^2 / R = m ω^2 R where R is the radius vector of the velocity - note that the Radius vector is directed from the center of motion to the object and for circular motion would be constant in magnitude but not in direction
The secondary structure arises from the hydrogen bonds formed between atoms of the polypeptide backbone. The hydrogen bonds form between the partially negative oxygen atom and the partially positive nitrogen atom
