Velocity constantly changes as so does the direction around a circle...
yes
Ferris wheel goes around in uniform circular motion. The wheel traverses in a circular path at a constant speed and distance of the body from the axis of rotation is fixed as constant at all times. While the speed is constant, its velocity is not constant but changing. It is an example of centripetal force constant in magnitude acting towards the axis of rotation.
When an object is moving in a uniform circular motion while traveling in a circular path, this means it has a constant speed. When an object is moving in a circular path, this indicates it is constantly being pulled towards the center of the circle.
Constant speed around a curve is changing velocity.
The type of circular motion on a Ferris wheel without stopping is an example of uniform circular motion. In this type of motion, the speed of the object remains constant, but its direction changes continuously, moving in a circle at a consistent rate.
no
constant speed=0 acceleration Acceleration is the change in speed. If the speed doesn't change(ie constant) the acceleration is zero.
Planetary motion almost fits into the category of Uniform Circular Motion. Uniform Circular Motion is an object moving around a circle of constant radius at a constant speed. The planets fill all of these requirements except for the fact that their orbits are slightly elliptical. Their orbital paths are almost perfect circles, but they are so close that for Uniform Circular Motion problems, it is not likely that considering the orbits to be circular will produce an incorrect answer.
If the speed is constant, the acceleration is toward the center of the circle.
A ball moving at a constant speed around a circular track.
This type of acceleration occurs when an object is moving around a circle at a constant speed. As the object moves around the circle, the direction of its velocity is constantly changing. This type of acceleration is called centripetal acceleration. The direction of the acceleration is toward the center of the circle. I hope this answers your question. A car traveling 25 MPH turns 30-degrees to the left without losing speed -- it has accelerated.
