No it is not because its direction is constantly changing. It is not a constant force. Force has direction as well as magintude and while it magnitude is constant its direction is not.

Give reason why uniform circular motion is considered as accelerated motion?

Because within circular motion, acceleration is constant


Explain what is on the y-axis and x-axis in order to get acceleration?

In case of uniform acceleration,the graph will be a straight line with a +ve slope ,if we are taking velocity along Y-axis and time along X-axis.hence it's slope will give u acceleration.


What is the Acceleration of a car that got up to 45 ms from a rest position in 3 seconds?

Velocity at time 0 sec = 0m per sec Velocity at time 3 sec = 45m per sec Acceleration is 45/3 = 15m per sec if the acceleration is uniform


An athlete whirls a 6.63 kg hammer tied to the end of a 1.4 m chain in a horizontal circle. The hammer moves at the rate of 1.6 revs. What is the centripetal acceleration of the hammer?

First convert revs into radians per second to give angular frequency: omega=(1.6*360)*2pi/360= 10.05 rad s-1Then calculate the linear velocity: v=omega.r = 10.05*1.4 = 14.07ms-1Finally calculate the centripetal acceleration: a=v2/r = (14.07^2)/1.4 = 141.4 ms-2(Using the mass given, this corresponds to a centripetal force of F=ma= 6.63*141.4 = 937.5 N)


What is the formula to find the mass when they give you the acceleration and mass?

You ignore the acceleration, and just give them the mass. Now, if they give you the acceleration and the applied force, you could use m = F/a.


Do you have an example of an acceleration word problem?

give sample of word problem of acceleration


What is need to give an object a greater acceleration?

acceleration goes with boost of of any type of matter


Should teachers wear uniform Why Please give a realistic or scientific reason PLEASE?

Teachers should be given the right to wear whatever they want!! Hi-Hi 97


Is stabilizer another term of preservative?

The short answer is, 'not really, no', although they can have preservative qualities. The main reason stabilizers are used is to help give a uniform nature to a product, such as processed foods.


What can we give your netball coach as a present?

you could give a netball uniform


How is acceleration calcuated?

Dividing change of velocity by the time it takes to change the velocity. If acceleration is not constant, this will give you the average acceleration during the period; to get the instantaneous acceleration, you have to take the derivative of the velocity.


In physics what is variable acceleration and please give at least two examples of it?

if a body covered same distance in unequal interval of time the acceleration is produce this acceleration is called variable acceleration
