Picture a ball traveling at a constant speed around the inside of a circular structureis the ball accelerating?

If it's going at a constant speed then it is not accelerating. To accelerate would mean to have a rate of change for speed in some direction. If the ball is going outward while traveling at a constant speed due to centrifugal force then it is accelerating. If it's going inwards due to some ground angle then it is also accelerating. From Newton's laws we know that to have a circular motion, an object must be subject to a force directed to the centre of the structure and is accelerating in that direction. This centrifugal force, exerted by the structure to the ball, is opposite in direction and magnitude to the 'fictitious' centrifugal force.


What does centrifugal mean?

It is a ficticious force, which seems to push things outward from the center, when objects move in circular movement - or, more generally, in a curve.


Why does sound waves die out after traveling for a long time?

A sound wave has a fixed amount of energy. Because sound waves usually move outward in a circular pattern of increasing size, that energy gets stretched out over a larger and larger area, and the energy eventually becomes so thin as to be undetectable, or too quiet to be heard.

Why do waves travel outward in a circular pattern away from original disturbance?

Under certain circumstances, the waves will go out in all directions. If they go at the same speed in all directions, the pattern will naturally be circular - or spherical, if it's in three dimensions.

Force is a fictitious force that some people believe causes you to feel as if you are being pushed outward from the center of a circle while traveling in uniform circular motion?

Force is not a fictitious force; it is a centripetal force that acts towards the center of a circle to keep an object in uniform circular motion. The sensation of feeling pushed outward is due to inertia, as an object's natural tendency is to move in a straight line. The centripetal force counteracts this tendency, causing the object to move in a circle.


What fictitious force seems to push objects outward from the center of a circle when it is in uniform circular motion?

That's 'centrifugal' force.

What is an example of Circular acceleration?

a satellite in orbit; it is moving at constant speed but is accelerating outward in circular acceleration, balanced by gravity acceleration (centripetal force).
