A model airplane is tethered by a wire so that it flies in a circle How could you calculate the tangential speed of the airplane if the line breaks?

If you simply measure the circumference of its orbit (length of string multiplied by 6.282) and then the time it takes to complete a lap, you will find out its speed. This should be the same as the tangential speed if the tether breaks.


What is the difference between tangential and radial acceleration?

Answer Both refer to an object that is in a cirular motion. Radial Acceleration is a velocity change of the object as it moves away from the center of rotation. Tangential Velocity is a change of velocity of the object as it moves in a line that is tangential to the circular path it is moving.

How long are each side of an octagon 24 inch circle?

The answer depends on whether the octagon is inside the circle or outside (tangential).


Objects that move along a circular path are they accelerated toward the outer edge of the circle?

Actually, objects moving around a circular path have two accelerations i.e. radial acceleration and tangential acceleration. Radial acceleration is towards the radius whereas tangential acceleration is the acceleration along the direction of the tangent to the path of the motion. So, I would say yes, they are accelerated towards the outer edge of the circle.
