Are centripetal acceleration and projectile motion the same thing?
Centripetal acceleration at a constant velocity and projectile motion are realistic comparisons, but only in this particular scenario. It should be noted that the vector quantity of both needs to be taken into consideration when answering this question. The vector component of centripetal acceleration moves inward, while outward for projectile motion. So, in essence, centripetal acceleration and projectile motion are not the same thing.
Is the acceleration of an object always in the same direction of the net force?
No, the acceleration of an object is in the direction of the net force applied to it. If the net force is in the same direction as the object's motion, the acceleration will be in the same direction. If the net force is opposite to the object's motion, the acceleration will be in the opposite direction.
How does acceleration affect motion in the same direction?
It will increase the velocity of the the object in which the acceleration is applied.
Is acceleration the same thing as speed?
no
What is an example of a motion in which acceleration is in direction of motion?
Throwing an object straight up in the air is an example of a motion in which acceleration is in the direction of motion. After the object is released, the acceleration due to gravity acts downward, which is in the same direction as the motion of the object as it goes up and then comes back down.
Acceleration is against the direction of motion?
Acceleration can be in the opposite direction of motion, which is called deceleration. Acceleration can also be in the same direction as motion, causing an increase in speed. The direction of acceleration depends on the forces acting on the object.
Is linear acceleration the same as the tangential acceleration in circular motion?
No, linear acceleration refers to changes in speed along a straight line, while tangential acceleration refers to changes in speed along the circumference of a circle in circular motion. In circular motion, objects experience both tangential and centripetal accelerations.
What happens to the speed when acceleration is in the same direction as the motion?
Speed increase constantly.
Why not all motion the same?
Due to path in which it is made. Due to acceleration, retardation
What is an example of acceleration in direction of motion?
An example of acceleration in the direction of motion is when a car speeds up while driving on a highway. As the driver presses on the accelerator pedal, the car's velocity increases in the same direction as its motion, resulting in acceleration in the direction of travel.
If a moving object speeds upin what direction is the acceleration?
If a moving object is speeding up, the acceleration is in the same direction as the object's motion.
Can a body moving with constant speed has acceleration?
Yes. Eg : in case of a uniform circular motion. In general, for every motion in which direction of motion of particle keeps changing continuously and the particle moves with same speed, then the net acceleration is non-zero, although tangential acceleration is zero.
