Question

Centripetal acceleration always points:

  1. Away from the centre of the circle formed by the uniform circular motion.
  2. Towards the center of the circle formed by the uniform circular motion.
  3. In the tangential direction of the center of the circle formed by the uniform circular motion.
  4. In the direction of object’s motion

hintHint:

Centripetal acceleration ac is the acceleration experienced while in uniform circular motion

The correct answer is: Towards the center of the circle formed by the uniform circular motion.


    Centripetal acceleration ac is the acceleration experienced while in uniform circular motion. It always points toward the center of rotation
