An object moving with uniform speed on a circular path. state with a reason if the object is accelerating
Answers
Explanation:
It is accelerating because the direction of the velocity vector is changing.
Answer:
An object moving with uniform speed on a circular path will have an acceleration.
Explanation:
An object is said to have an acceleration if there is a change in its velocity. Here the object is moving at a uniform speed. Speed is a scalar quantity that does not depend on direction. So in this motion speed is a constant. But the velocity of the object is not a constant. Velocity is a vector quantity and it does depend on direction.
As the object is moving in a circular path its direction at a particular point will be tangential to that point. We can say that the direction of the object in a circular path is changing at every single point. So the object is said to have an acceleration because of its change in its velocity. The direction of acceleration will be acting towards the center of the circle.
