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 statement that is TRUE for Uniform Circular Motion is:
The acceleration of an object experiencing uniform circular motion is constant.
The TRUE statement for Uniform Circular Motion is:
The acceleration of an object experiencing uniform circular motion is constant.
In uniform circular motion, the object moves in a circle at a constant speed. However, since the direction of the object's velocity is constantly changing, it experiences acceleration towards the center of the circle. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration and is always directed towards the center of the circular path.
