The definition of acceleration is:

Change of velocity, that is, change of speed or direction or both.

In popular, every-day usage, 'acceleration' has come to mean 'speeding up', but as you

can see from the definition, that's not accurate.

Acceleration can also mean a change in the direction of motion, without any change

of speed.

Why is traveling in a circle at constant speed called acceleration?

Traveling in any direction, but moving is acceleration. if a particle moves in a circle and comes to the initial position, then the velocity would be zero. acceleration is a scalar quantity and not a vector quantity. answered by K.Sreram from India


If an object is moving in a circle with a constant speed Its acceleration is constant in what?

If an object is moving in a circle with a constant speed, its acceleration is directed towards the center of the circle and is constant in magnitude. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration and is required to keep the object moving in a circular path.


The constant acceleration of an object moving in a circle is called?

The force toward the centre of the circle is called the centripetal force. centrpetal acceleration.


How can you be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed?

Acceleration refers to any change in an object's velocity, which includes changes in speed or direction. It is possible to have a constant speed while still accelerating if the direction of motion changes, for example, when moving in a circle at a constant speed. So, while the speed remains the same, the change in direction constitutes acceleration.


What is the Circular motion occurs when an object is traveling with constant speed in a circle.?

Circular motion occurs when an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed. The object experiences a centripetal force that continuously changes its direction but not its speed. This force is necessary to keep the object moving in a circle instead of a straight line.

If the speed of an object does not changed then the object is traveling at a?

If speed does not change then the object is moving with constant speed. when object moves in a circle its speed does not remains constant. Speed of object remains constant only if it moves along linear path.

Circular motion occurs when an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed. The object experiences a centripetal force that continuously changes its direction but not its speed. This force is necessary to keep the object moving in a circle instead of a straight line.


Which describe acceleration involving only a change in directions?

This type of acceleration occurs when an object is moving around a circle at a constant speed. As the object moves around the circle, the direction of its velocity is constantly changing. This type of acceleration is called centripetal acceleration. The direction of the acceleration is toward the center of the circle. I hope this answers your question. A car traveling 25 MPH turns 30-degrees to the left without losing speed -- it has accelerated.


If a particle moves in circle with constant speed its angular momentum about the center of circle?

The angular momentum is a constant.


What is the relationship between constant acceleration a speed v and distance r from the origin for a particle travelling in a circle?

For a particle traveling in a circle at a constant speed, the acceleration is toward the center of the circle, known as centripetal acceleration. The acceleration is determined by the formula a = v^2 / r, where v is the speed of the particle and r is the distance from the origin (radius of the circle). This relationship shows that as the speed or radius changes, the centripetal acceleration will change accordingly.
