Answer by wonderingwhy for Tangential acceleration and the transverse...
The term $\omega$ x r gives the tangential velocity of the object, where $\omega$ is the angular velocity and r is the position vector. The tangential velocity is the speed with which it undergoes...

The term reads $\omega \times r'$, probably meaning $r'= dr/dt$, so its perpendicular to the tangent to the trajectory and the axis of rotation $\omega$.With$$x = r (\cos \phi, \sin \phi )$$we have the...
