yes. this is the baseline understanding for rotational motion. Think of driving a car, if you turn the wheel of the car then you are directing the frictional force near perpendicular to your velocity and thus "turn" the car.

More precisely, the car's acceleration is radial while its velocity is tangential and thus the car is following a rotational path, during the turning phase of travel.

Is it possiblean object is moving in a certain direction with an acceleration in the perpendicular direction?

no


Is An object moving with a certain direction with an acceleration in the perpendicular direction?

Yes, the object will move in a curved path due to the combined effect of the velocity in one direction and acceleration in the perpendicular direction. This is known as projectile motion. The acceleration perpendicular to the initial velocity will change the direction of motion but not the speed.


When certain minerals recrystallize with a prefered orentation that is perpendicular to the direction of the compressional force the rock is said to exhibit?

foliation


In the diagram below xy is the perpendicular bisector of jk?

It could be, but without the diagram it is not possible to be certain.


What is the rock said to exhibit when certain minerals recrystallize with a preferred orientation that is perpendicular to the direction of the compressional force?

The rock exhibits foliation when certain minerals recrystallize with a preferred orientation perpendicular to the compressional force. Foliation creates a layered structure in the rock, giving it a banded appearance and indicating the direction of the applied stress during metamorphism.


What is Poisson's Ratio for Carbon Graphite?

The Poisson's Ratio for carbon graphite is typically around 0.15 to 0.3, indicating that when a material is stretched in one direction, it tends to contract in the perpendicular direction by a certain extent.

How can you be certain lines are perpendicular?

just see if its a right angle


When certain minerals recrystallize with a preferred orientation that is perpendicular to the direction of the compressonal force the rock is said to exhibit?

The rock is said to exhibit foliation. Foliation is a type of deformation that occurs in rocks under intense pressure, causing individual minerals to align in a preferred orientation parallel to the direction of compressional forces.


What is the A measure of speed in a certain direction?

Velocity is the measure of speed in a certain direction. It is a vector quantity that includes both the speed of an object and the direction in which it is moving.


What moves in a certain direction?

wind.


What is the focal lentgh of a lens?

It is a plane perpendicular to the lens at the focal distance from the lens. All parallel light entering the lens from a certain direction falls on a single point somewhere on this plane. Where the point of light falls depends on what angle the "wall" of light enters the lens.
