Gravity. Thank You and Come Again.
The direction of a particle moving in a circle at a given time can be found by determining the tangent to the circle at that point. The tangent is perpendicular to the radius of the circle at that point and indicates the direction of motion.
The direction of acceleration when moving in a circle is toward the center of the circle. This centripetal acceleration is responsible for changing the direction of the velocity vector as an object moves in circular motion.
The Arctic Circle is located north of the Equator. It is an imaginary line that marks the southernmost point at which the sun can remain continuously above or below the horizon for 24 hours during the summer and winter solstices, respectively.
The x-coordinate of the circle's center changes when you move the circle horizontally. This is because the equation for a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2, where (h,k) is the center of the circle. Moving the circle horizontally shifts the circle left or right, changing the value of h.
You can fly continuously south around the world following a great circle route. You would eventually reach the point where south and north meet at the South Pole, completing a full circle. The distance would depend on the starting point and the specific flight path taken.

The direction of velocity changes continuously during uniform circular motion. The magnitude of velocity remains constant, but its direction is constantly changing as the object moves around the circle.
Yes, the direction of circular motion can change continuously as an object moves around a circle. This change in direction is known as angular acceleration and is influenced by external forces acting on the object.
Velocity is a vector; having size (speed) and direction. The velocity of an object moving in a circle constantly changes, even if the speed is constant, because the object is continuously changing direction. Therefore it accelerates The force causing the acceleration is the centripetal force pulling it round into a circular path at right angles to the speed vector, like the moon going round the earth in a circular path being pulled towards the earth by the earth's gravity
Circular motion occurs when an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed. The object experiences a centripetal force that continuously changes its direction but not its speed. This force is necessary to keep the object moving in a circle instead of a straight line.
A body is being accelerated if its speed OR direction are changing.A satellite in a perfectly circular orbit around the earth ... like a TV satellite ... is moving at constant speed. But, technically, since its direction is always changing, to keep it on a circle, it's experiencing constant acceleration.
No, the velocity of an object in uniform circular motion (UCM) is not constant. While the speed of the object remains constant, the velocity changes continuously in direction due to the centripetal acceleration required to keep the object moving in a circle.
Actually it isn't. In circular motion, even if you assume a constant speed (the simplest case), acceleration is towards the center. Therefore, the direction of the acceleration changes all the time - and therefore, the acceleration changes all the time.
This is because the term "velocity" includes a specification both of a speed, and a direction. The direction changes, therefore the velocity changes.
Centrepetal force-orbits E.G. Earth orbits the sun at a constant speed but also changes its direction, thus its velocity. This means that the almost constant change in velocity causes there to be a constant acceleration because of the change on direction.
Centripetal equilibrium is the state in which an object moving in a circular path maintains a constant speed while its direction changes continuously. It occurs when the centripetal force required to keep the object moving in a circle is equal and opposite to the outward centrifugal force.
Because 'acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'. It means any changein speed or direction of motion.Uniform circular motion involves constantly changing direction, and that'sconstant acceleration.
