Question
Centrifugal acceleration always points:
- In the opposite direction of the center of the circle
- In the direction of the center of the circle formed by the uniform circular motion.
- In the tangential direction of the center of the circle formed by the uniform
- In the direction of object’s motion
Hint:
Centripetal acceleration has a constant magnitude
The correct answer is: In the opposite direction of the center of the circle
Centripetal acceleration has a constant magnitude since both v and r are constant, but since the direction of v keeps on changing at each instant in a circular motion, hence centripetal acceleration's direction also keeps on changing at each instant, always pointing towards the centre.
