A body moving in a circular path has no fixed direction. Its direction keeps on changing

with every step of its motion.

Can centripetal force work on the rotating body?

Yes, centripetal force is required to keep a rotating body moving in a circular path. It acts towards the center of the circular motion, causing the body to constantly change direction while moving in a circular path.


CENTRIPETAL?

A force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed around the object which the body is moving


What is the direction of an object moving along a circular path?

The direction of an object moving along a circular path is constantly changing. At any given point, the direction of the object is tangent to the circle at that point.


In order to cause a moving body to pursue a circular path it is necessary to apply what?

You must apply a force towards the centre of the circle. This is called a centripetal force.


Why a body moves in circular path?

A body moves in a circular path when a centripetal force acts on it, pulling it towards the center of the circle. This force is necessary to keep the body moving in a curved path, as it continuously changes direction. The centripetal force is a result of the body's inertia trying to keep it moving in a straight line, but being redirected towards the center of the circle instead.


What is circular motion?

Circular Motion -a motion along a circular path or the motion of an object in a circular Example -blades of a ceiling fan when the fan is switched on. or The motion of body along the circular path is called circular motion


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

No, the momentum of an object moving in a circular path is not constant. The direction of the velocity of the object changes constantly, leading to changes in its momentum.


What is the direction of the force acting on an object moving radially inward towards the center of a circular path?

The direction of the force acting on an object moving radially inward towards the center of a circular path is towards the center of the circle.


A force that holds a moving object in a circular path is called the?

A force that holds a moving object in a circular path is a "centripetal force". In the case of an orbiting planet, moon, artificial satellite etc., the mutual force of gravitation between the orbiting body and the central body is the centripetal force.


For an object moving in a circular path which quantity is always changing?

The direction of the object's velocity is always changing as it moves in a circular path.


What is the work done by a body moving along a circular path?

The work done by a body moving along a circular path is zero if the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion, such as in the case of centripetal force. This is because the displacement is perpendicular to the force. If there is a component of the force in the direction of the motion, work is done, calculated as the dot product of the force and displacement vectors.


Can a body moving in variable speed move in circle?

Yes, a body moving at variable speed can move in a circle if it is subject to a centripetal force that keeps it curved along a circular path. This force is needed to constantly change the body's direction, allowing it to move in a circular motion despite changes in speed.
