Um, well... it can be represented by a vector.
Just like anything else that has both a direction and a value.
The mere numerical value of an acceleration is not a vector,
since it's just a value without a direction.
The direction of the centripetal acceleration vector in circular motion is towards the center of the circle.
No, acceleration is not uniform in uniformly circular motion. In uniformly circular motion, the direction of the velocity vector is constantly changing, which means there is always a centripetal acceleration acting towards the center of the circle. This centripetal acceleration is not constant in magnitude, making the overall acceleration not uniform.
No, radial and centripetal acceleration are not the same. Radial acceleration is the acceleration towards the center of a circle, while centripetal acceleration is the acceleration that keeps an object moving in a circular path.
No, radial acceleration and centripetal acceleration are not the same. Radial acceleration is the acceleration directed towards the center of a circle, while centripetal acceleration is the acceleration that keeps an object moving in a circular path.
The formula for centripetal acceleration is a v2 / r, where a is the centripetal acceleration, v is the velocity, and r is the radius.
The direction of the centripetal acceleration vector in circular motion is towards the center of the circle.
Centripetal acceleration at a constant velocity and projectile motion are realistic comparisons, but only in this particular scenario. It should be noted that the vector quantity of both needs to be taken into consideration when answering this question. The vector component of centripetal acceleration moves inward, while outward for projectile motion. So, in essence, centripetal acceleration and projectile motion are not the same thing.

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration directed towards the center of a circular path, while tangential acceleration is the acceleration along the tangent of the circle, perpendicular to the centripetal acceleration.
Yes, it is possible to experience centripetal acceleration without tangential acceleration. Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration directed towards the center of a circular path, while tangential acceleration is the acceleration along the direction of motion. In cases where an object is moving in a circular path at a constant speed, there is centripetal acceleration but no tangential acceleration.
Tangential acceleration is the acceleration in the direction of motion of an object, while centripetal acceleration is the acceleration towards the center of a circular path. Tangential acceleration changes an object's speed, while centripetal acceleration changes its direction.
That's called 'centripetal acceleration'. It's the result of the centripetal forceacting on the object on the curved path.
Centripetal acceleration can be calculated using the formula a v2 / r, where a is the centripetal acceleration, v is the velocity of the object, and r is the radius of the circular path.
Centripetal acceleration is directly proportional to velocity squared and inversely proportional to the radius of the circular path. This means that as velocity increases, centripetal acceleration increases, and as the radius of the circle increases, centripetal acceleration decreases.
