Towards the center of the motion.
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.
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.
The centripetal acceleration of an object in uniform circular motion is directed towards the center of the circular path and is perpendicular to the object's velocity. It is responsible for changing the direction of the object's velocity, keeping it moving in a circular path.
In uniform circular motion, the speed of the object remains constant, but the velocity changes direction continuously. The acceleration is directed towards the center of the circle (centripetal acceleration) and its magnitude remains constant. The object moves in a circular path at a constant speed.
Because 'acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'. It means any changein speed or direction of motion.Uniform circular motion involves constantly changing direction, and that'sconstant acceleration.

The direction of the centripetal acceleration vector in circular motion is towards the center of the circle.
Uniform circular motion is considered accelerated because the velocity is constantly changing direction, even though the speed remains constant. Since acceleration is defined as any change in velocity, the acceleration in this case is known as centripetal acceleration, directed towards the center of the circle.
If the speed is constant, the acceleration is toward the center of the circle.
True. In uniform circular motion, the particle's velocity is tangential to the circular path, and the acceleration is directed radially inward, towards the center of the circular path. This centripetal acceleration causes the change in direction of the particle's velocity, but the magnitude of the velocity remains constant.
Velocity and acceleration are perpendicular to each other when the magnitude of the acceleration is equal to the centripetal acceleration required for circular motion, and the direction of the acceleration is towards the center of the circular path while the velocity is tangent to the path. This occurs in uniform circular motion.
False. In uniform circular motion, the instantaneous acceleration is directed towards the center of the circle, which is called the centripetal acceleration. This acceleration is responsible for changing the direction of the velocity of the particle, even though its speed remains constant.
No.. this is impossible. Velocity must have a constant direction and speed to remain constant, it may have a constant speed, but the direction in a circle constantly changes. If it suddenly were to have constant direction, then the motion would go off on a tangent.. making it linear motion, not circular. In circular motion, velocity constantly changes. Always.
