It is constant in magnitude. It is changing in direction.

What is the Direction of Acceleration of an object moving on any circular path at constant speed is pointed?

The direction of acceleration of an object moving on a circular path at constant speed is pointed towards the center of the circle. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration and is necessary to keep the object moving in a curved path.


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.


Under what circumstances can an object moving with an constant speed (uniform magnitude oits velocity) have an acceleration?

When the direction changes. A simple case is an object moving in a circle, at constant speed.


Can an object be moving if acceleration is zero?

Yes. Acceleration is defined as a change of speed and/or direction of motion. If the speed and direction of motion are constant, then there is no acceleration.


Why is an object moving in a constant speed undergoing?

An object moving at a constant speed is not undergoing acceleration because acceleration is a change in velocity over time. Since the object's speed is not changing, there is no acceleration.


Why are you still accelerating when you travel in a circle at a constant speed?

When you travel in a circle at a constant speed, your velocity (direction and speed) is constantly changing as you move along the curved path. This change in velocity indicates that there is an acceleration acting on the object, known as centripetal acceleration, which is directed towards the center of the circle. This acceleration is required to keep the object moving in a curved path at a constant speed.


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.


Does the acceleration of a body moving in circular path remain constant?

If the speed of the object doesn't change, then yes.


Which describe acceleration involving only a change in directions?

This type of acceleration occurs when an object is moving around a circle at a constant speed. As the object moves around the circle, the direction of its velocity is constantly changing. This type of acceleration is called centripetal acceleration. The direction of the acceleration is toward the center of the circle. I hope this answers your question. A car traveling 25 MPH turns 30-degrees to the left without losing speed -- it has accelerated.


If a body is moving with constant velocity is it moving with constant acceleration?

An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.


What is the direction of acceleration when moving in a circle?

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.
