Abstract: An apprehensible geometrical approach is presented to analyze the acceleration at the instantaneous center of rotation. This approach only involves the method of instantaneous center of rotation,the definitions of acceleration and curvature for a rigid body in planar motion.

Key words: rigid body, planar motion, pure rotation, curvature, acceleration, instantaneous center of rotation
