He constant acceleration of an object moving in a circle is called?

centripetal acceleration


The constant acceleration of an object moving in a circle is called?

The force toward the centre of the circle is called the centripetal force. centrpetal acceleration.


Under what circumstances can an object moving with an constant speed (uniform magnitude oits velocity) have an acceleration?

When the direction changes. A simple case is an object moving in a circle, at constant speed.


What is the Direction of Acceleration of an object moving on any circular path at constant speed is pointed?

In toward the center of the circle.


Does the acceleration of a body moving in circular path remain constant?

If the speed of the object doesn't change, then yes.


Which describe acceleration involving only a change in directions?

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.


Can the direction of the velocity of an object change keeping the acceleration constant?

In order to change the direction of the velocity, acceleration is absolutely required. And as long as you've got it, there's no reason why it can't be constant. An object moving in a circle at a constant speed ... like a TV satellite ... has constant acceleration, and the direction of its velocity is constantly changing.


If a body is moving with constant velocity is it moving with constant acceleration?

An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.


The velocity of an object moving in a straight line changes at a constant rate when the object is experiencing constant?

acceleration


What is difference between an object moving with uniform acceleration and an object moving with a constant velocity?

A motion with a constant speed will always be moving the same speed A motion with a constant acceleration will constantly be gaining speed, and does not remain moving at the same speed.


What is the average speed of an object moving constant in a circle?

An object can move in a circle at different speeds.


Can an object have a constant speed and a constant acceleration?

Yes, it it's going round in a circle, for example.
