Question

If an object is in uniform circular motion, then it is accelerating towards the center of the circle; yet the object never gets any closer to the center of the circle. It maintains a circular path at a constant radius from the circle's center. Suggest a reason as to how this can be. How can an object accelerate towards the center without ever getting any closer to the center?

Answer 1

Explanation:

It occurs due to two different type of forces

1)= CENTRIPETAL FORCE

It act towards the center of the circular path that provides the centriletal acc. towards the center of body

2). centrifugal force

It occurs perpendicularly away from(outwards) from circular path that balances the centripeatl force

hence by reading the above paragraphs we can say that an object can maintain a circular path
