Question

the acceleration of com is the result of ________?​

Answer 1

The acceleration of COM is the result of a change in its velocity.

Explanation:

• COM stands for center of mass.
• When the velocity of a moving object changes, it results in acceleration.
• Acceleration can be referred to as increasing speed or decreasing the speed (retardation) of the moving object.
• if the direction of the object changes then the acceleration is called centripetal acceleration.
• Thus we can say that the acceleration of COM is the result of a change in its velocity.
