If a body moving in a circle with constant velocity: a. it has no acceleration whatsoever. b. its tangential acceleration is zero and its centripetal acceleration is constant c. its tangential acceleration is constant and its centripetal acceleration is zero d. its tangential and centripetal acceleration are constant
Sahil K.
An object moves, in a circular path with a constant magnitude velocity, experiences a centripetal acceleration (ac) because a. There is a tangential force acts on the object b. The velocity is a vector quantity which changes as the object moves c. The velocity is a scalar quantity which changes as the object moves d. The object has an inertia
Hubert A.
In uniform circular motion, A. the acceleration is always constant in magnitude and direction. B. the velocity is always constant in magnitude and direction. C. both the acceleration and the velocity are continually changing direction. D. the velocity is always changing direction but the acceleration is always in the same direction. E. the net force is always constant in magnitude and direction.
