Since no values are given, the answer must be a general one. A particle in circular motion undergoes centripetalacceleration. Inertial motion is straight line motion. Any change in motion (including direction) requires positive or negative acceleration. In order to move along a circular (or any curved) path, a particle's direction of motion is in a constant state of diversion from straight line inertial motion, so it moves under a contant state of acceleration.

If an object is moving in a circle with a constant speed Its acceleration is constant in what?
It is constant in magnitude. It is changing in direction.
Will a child on a carousel moving at constant speed has an acceleration of zero?
No! Carousels move in a circle (at least all the carousels I know do) in circular motion there is constant acceleration directed towards the center of the circle of magnitude a=v2/r
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.
Is it possible for a body to have an acceleration when moving with constant velocity?
No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.
If a car drove a around in a circle would that be constant velocity?
No. Velocity is a 'vector', which means it's a measurement that has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude is what we usually call the 'speed'. For an object moving in a circle, it could have constant speed ... the velocity could have constant magnitude ... but there's no way the whole velocity vector could be constant, because the direction is always changing. Constant velocity is very easy to recognize ... the object is moving at a steady speed, in a straight line.
If an object is moving in a circle with a constant speed Its acceleration is constant in what?
It is constant in magnitude. It is changing in direction.
What is the direction of acceleration when moving in a circle?
The direction of the acceleration is towards the center. The magnitude of the acceleration is v2/r.
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.
Will a child on a carousel moving at constant speed has an acceleration of zero?
No! Carousels move in a circle (at least all the carousels I know do) in circular motion there is constant acceleration directed towards the center of the circle of magnitude a=v2/r
Does the speed of a car moving in a circular path at 15 mph remain constant Or does the acceleration or its velocity remains constant?
The magnitude of the velocity will be constant however the direction will be constantly changing. The acceleration will remain constant towards the centre of the circle
He constant acceleration of an object moving in a circle is called?
centripetal acceleration
Where does acceleration of merry go vector points?
The acceleration of anything moving at a constant speed in a circle is towards the center of the circle.
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.
What will be acceleration of a car moving in a circular motion with constant speed.?
If body is moving in a circle with uniform or constant speed its acceleration will be uniform as velocity i.e. to say direction is changing at every point.
Does the acceleration of a body moving in circular path remain constant?
If the speed of the object doesn't change, then yes.
Is it possible for a body to have an acceleration when moving with constant velocity?
No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.
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.
