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 is the direction of acceleration in circular uniform motion?
Towards the center of the motion.
What is centripetal acceleration and find its magnitude and direction in the case of uniform circular motion?
The centripetal acceleration is v2/r, directed toward the center of the circle..
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
Under what condition a body whose velocity is directed towards east has an acceleration directed west?
In circular motion an object accelerates towards the radius of the circle but its velocity is unchanged
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.
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 is acceleration toward the center of a circle caused by?
The force which causes acceleration towards the centre of a circle is called Centripetal force but what causes it can vary.
What is the direction of acceleration in circular uniform motion?
Towards the center of the motion.
What is centripetal acceleration and find its magnitude and direction in the case of uniform circular motion?
The centripetal acceleration is v2/r, directed toward the center of the circle..
What force keeps an object moving in a circle. in what direction does this force act?
The Centripetal force keeps a object moving in a circle and its force and acceleration are directed toward the center of the circle
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 acceleration of a body moving in circular path remain constant?
If the speed of the object doesn't change, then yes.
Where is the acceleration of satellite directed?
toward the center of the circle this is to my online bbys (E2020 :)) xD love ya ~kraziekatt4life♥
Under what condition a body whose velocity is directed towards east has an acceleration directed west?
In circular motion an object accelerates towards the radius of the circle but its velocity is unchanged
What is the direction of acceleretion of a body in circular motion?
-- The acceleration is directed from the body to the center of the circle. -- The velocity is tangent to the circle at the place where the body is. That direction is also perpendicular to the acceleration at that moment.
Where is the acceleration of a satellite directed?
Straight toward the center of mass of whatever body it's orbiting. If the orbit happens to be circular, then that's the center of the circle.
