Why radial force doesn't work on orbit in circular motion?

Radial force in circular motion does not work because the acceleration needed to keep an object moving in a circle is provided by the centripetal force, directed towards the center of the circle. This centripetal force maintains the object's velocity and prevents it from moving in a straight line. Therefore, no additional radial force is required for the object to stay in orbit.


What is the difference between tangential acceleration and radial acceleration in the context of circular motion?

Tangential acceleration is the change in speed of an object moving in a circular path, while radial acceleration is the change in direction of the object's velocity. Tangential acceleration affects the object's speed, while radial acceleration affects the object's direction of motion.


The Doppler Effect is a phenomenon that allows one to measure an object's Select one a. temperature. b. radial motion. c. radius. d. chemical composition.?

b. radial motion. The Doppler Effect can be used to measure an object's radial motion by analyzing the shift in the frequency of the waves emitted by the object as it moves towards or away from the observer.


Are radial and centripetal acceleration the same?

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.


How does radial acceleration relate to linear acceleration in a rotating object?

Radial acceleration and linear acceleration are related in a rotating object because radial acceleration is the acceleration towards the center of the circle due to the change in direction of velocity, while linear acceleration is the acceleration along the tangent to the circle due to the change in speed. In a rotating object, both types of acceleration work together to determine the overall motion of the object.
