acentripetal

English to German Science Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng term list
this is again from a list of terms.

This component is called the centripetal acceleration, *acentripetal* and has the magnitude...

This fraction of context is all I have. I know "zentripetal". But is there a thing like "azentripetal" or "gegenzentripetal"? Couldn´t find any references.
Thanks for your help.

Bzentripetal

Hier ist nicht das Gegenteil von zentripetal gemeint, sondern lediglich eine Art Abkürzung for "centripetal acceleration", wobei "centripetal" in der Regel tiefgestellt wird. Das wäre auf Deutsch dann die zentripetale Beschleunigung, was du m.M.n. als Bzentripetal (zent. wieder tiefgestellt) bezeichnen kannst.
Peer comment(s):

agree Cilian O'Tuama : a = acceleration, subscript (centripetal)
