For ds2=Adt2−dr2/A−r2dΩ2, A=1−2GM/r−Λr2/3, and c=1, a radial timelike geodesic has r˙2=k2−A. The radial geodesic equation gives r¨=−A′/2=−GM/r2+Λr/3, including at a turning point. This is a second derivative of the areal radius with respect to proper time; the geodesic's four-acceleration still vanishes. In the slow-motion weak-field limit, restoring units gives d2r/dt2=−GM/r2+Λc2r/3.
