Question
When an object experiences uniform circular motion, the direction of the acceleration is:
- In the same direction as the velocity.
- In the opposite direction of the velocity.
- Towards the center of the circular path.
- Away from the center of the circular path.
Hint:
inwards
The correct answer is: Towards the center of the circular path.
An object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nonetheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. The direction of the acceleration is inwards that is Towards the center of the circular path.
