'For an object moving in a uniform circular motion, the direction of the instantaneous acceleration vector is: tangent to the path of motion directed radially inward equal to zero directed radially outward'
Sufiyan A.
Statement-1: The direction of velocity vector is always along the tangent to the path therefore its magnitude may be given by its slope. Statement-2 : The slope of tangent to path always measure the magnitude of velocity at that point.
