Which of the following statement is TRUE for Uniform Circular Motion?
The velocity of an object experiencing uniform circular motion is constant.
The acceleration of an object experiencing uniform circular motion is constant.
The centripetal force of an object experiencing uniform circular motion is in parallel with the motion of the object
The direction of an object experiencing uniform circular motion is associated to the tangential and centripetal forces.
The velocity of an object experiencing uniform circular motion can be constant or changing depending on the axis of rotation.
The following statement is TRUE for Uniform Circular Motion:
The direction of an object experiencing uniform circular motion is associated with the tangential and centripetal forces.
The correct statement is:
- The acceleration of an object experiencing uniform circular motion is constant.
In uniform circular motion, the speed is constant, but the direction of the velocity is continuously changing, resulting in a change in velocity. The acceleration is directed towards the center of the circle and its magnitude remains constant.
