What is the acceleration of an object moving in circular path at constant velocity?

Answer 1

Centrepital Acceleration.
Normal acceleration known as centripetal acceleration in case of circular motion with uniform speed
An object in circular motion experiences continuous change in its direction of

motion, and may or may not experience changes in its speed. Either change

constitutes acceleration.

The force that keeps an object in circular motion is often directed toward

the center of the circle. It's then known as "centripetal" force, and produces

centripetal acceleration.

Answer 2

At every point in the path, acceleration points toward the center of the path, and velocity is tangential to the path. The two vectors are perpendicular everywhere on the path.

Answer 3

First of all, let's review the meaning of a few words, just so the rest of our

discussion won't be totally sloppy:

-- 'Velocity' means speed and direction. 'Constant velocity' means constant

speed in a straight line.

-- An object moving in a circular path is always changing direction, so it can't

possibly have 'constant velocity'.

-- 'Acceleration' is the rate of change of velocity ... either speed or direction.

So an object moving with constant velocity would have zero acceleration.

From that point, it turns out that your question actually has quite a brief answer:

The acceleration of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is [ V2/R ].

V = its speed on the circular path

R = the radius of the circular path

The direction of the acceleration always points toward the center of the circular path.

Before you go, notice a few things here:

-- If you want acceleration in some direction, you need force in that direction.

-- If you want force that always points toward the center, a good way to get it

is gravity.

-- If you want a circular path around a mass in the center of the circle, just

decide on how fast you want to move around it, then find a distance where

the acceleration of gravity due to the mass in the center is V2/R and you've

found the radius of the orbit where you can move at that particular speed

around that particular central body.

And Shazam! You have a moon, or a Space Station, or a solar system.

Answer 4

An object in circular motion experiences continuous change in its direction of

motion, and may or may not experience changes in its speed. Either change

constitutes acceleration.

The force that keeps an object in circular motion is often directed toward

the center of the circle. It's then known as "centripetal" force, and produces

centripetal acceleration.
