I have a single concept that I cannot understand (I can use it in questions but I like to understand my equations). a(acceleration)max=Aw^2
I know A stands for amplitude, w for angular velocity but I do not understand how by multiplying these we can get maximum acceleration.

Question

I have a single concept that I cannot understand (I can use it in questions but I like to understand my equations). a(acceleration)max=Aw^2
I know A stands for amplitude, w for angular velocity but I do not understand how by multiplying these we can get maximum acceleration.
