Question

When an object experiences uniform circular motion, the direction of the net force is:

  1. In the same direction as the motion of the object.
  2. In the opposite direction of the motion of the object.
  3. Towards the center of the circular path.
  4. Away from the center of the circular path.

hintHint:

The final motion characteristic for an object undergoing uniform circular motion is the net force. The net force acting upon such an object is directed towards the center of the circle.

The correct answer is: Towards the center of the circular path.
