The magnitude of the acceleration of an object moving in a circle at constant speed is?

Since no values are given, the answer must be a general one. A particle in circular motion undergoes centripetalacceleration. Inertial motion is straight line motion. Any change in motion (including direction) requires positive or negative acceleration. In order to move along a circular (or any curved) path, a particle's direction of motion is in a constant state of diversion from straight line inertial motion, so it moves under a contant state of acceleration.


Is radial acceleration the same as centripetal acceleration?

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.


What is the differences between tangential acceleration and centripetal 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.


What is the difference between centripetal acceleration and tangential acceleration in circular motion?

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.


What are some common questions about acceleration in physics?

Some common questions about acceleration in physics include: What is acceleration? How is acceleration calculated? What are the different types of acceleration? How does acceleration relate to velocity and distance traveled? How does acceleration affect motion and forces?
