Hi, iam Brian Carr, So long!
Why Does An Object Moving In A Circle Accelerate Towards The Center? [Solved]
centripetal acceleration, the acceleration of a body traversing a circular path. Because velocity is a vector quantity (that is, it has both a magnitude, the speed, and a direction), when a body travels on a circular path, its direction constantly changes and thus its velocity changes, producing an acceleration.
What is the acceleration of an object moving in a circle, and what can you do with it?
