In a cyclotron, one may speed up a particle that was traveling in a circular path, by the expedient of adding more energy to the particle, and increasing the strength of the constraining magnet, so that the path stays the same.

Why is a particle in uniform circular motion not moving at a constant speed?

Are you talking about the Illinois Particle accelerator? Well I think that it doesn't go at a constant speed but at a constant Acceleration, since it is accelerating and not staying at one speed is is therefor Constant Acceleration until they slowly work it up to almost the speed of light.


Can an object be accelerated if it is moving with constant speed?

No, an object cannot be accelerated if it is moving with constant speed. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the speed is constant, there is no change in velocity, and therefore no acceleration.


Why is circular motion with constant speed called accelerated motion?

Acceleration is defined as change in velocity. Velocity is speed and direction. So when you're going round in a circle (circular motion), you're changing direction constantly, therefore changing velocity and therefore accelerating.


Can an object be accelerated if it is moving with constant speed if yes explain giving examples?

Yes, an object can be accelerated even if it is moving at a constant speed if the direction of its velocity changes. This change in velocity, even if the magnitude of speed remains constant, indicates acceleration. For example, if a car is moving around a circular track at a constant speed, its direction is changing constantly, resulting in acceleration.


How uniform circular motion is rewarded from accelerated motion?

The purpose and function of the word "rewarded" here are very unclear, as is the thrust of the question. Uniform circular motion IS uniformly accelerated motion, since the direction of the motion is constantly changing.

3 What factors affect the increase of the centripetal force on a particle in uniform circular motion?

The centripetal force on a particle in uniform circular motion increases with the speed of the particle and the radius of the circular path. The mass of the particle also affects the centripetal force, as a heavier particle requires a stronger force to keep it moving in a circle at a constant speed.

Is Accelerated is related to the statement Circular motion with uniform speed?

yes.acceleration means change of velocity and not speed to be more precise.in a circular motion with constant speed the particle or the object constantly changes its direction.the direction of velocity is directed along the direction of the tangent at that point.although speed remains constant the velocity changes infinite number of times.so the particle is said to be accelerating.there is always instantaenous acceleration.but the average acceleration becomes zero after every round because velocity becomes the same after every round.

What is the difference between constant motion and accelerated motion?

Constant motion occurs when an object maintains a constant speed and direction, while accelerated motion involves a change in speed or direction, resulting in an acceleration. In constant motion, there is no change in velocity, whereas in accelerated motion, velocity changes over time.


Why is the motion of a particle along a circular path with a uniform speed said to be an accelerated motion?

To accelerate a body one must change its velocity or direction at an instantaneous moment. Since in a the velocity is uniform the direction at every point on the circular path is different. Thus making it accelerated.


Is the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is constant?

determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.


Is uniform circular motion accelerated?

Yes, uniform circular motion involves constant speed but changing direction, which means there is acceleration present in the form of centripetal acceleration directed towards the center of the circular path.
