Question

A particle is moving along a circular path with a constant speed. The acceleration of the particle is constant in (A) magnitude (B) direction (C) both magnitude and direction (D) neither magnitude nor direction

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

For constant speed along circular path acceleration is centripetal which is constant in magnitude ac=(v2/r) and always directed towards the center so the direction changes continuously.

both magnitude and direction

neither magnitude nor direction

For constant speed along circular path acceleration is centripetal which is constant in magnitude $a_{c} = \frac{v ^{2}}{r}$ and always directed towards the center so the direction changes continuously.
