Question

What is the acceleration of a body revolving in a circle at uniform speed?

A. The acceleration is zero.
B. The acceleration is directed tangentially.
C. The acceleration is directed toward the center.
D. The acceleration is directed away from the center.

Answer 1

The acceleration of a body revolving in a circle at uniform speed is directed toward the center. (C) It's called "centripetal acceleration".

Answer 2

The acceleration is directed towards the centre when a body revolving in a circle at uniform speed.

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

When an object w=is moving with an uniform speed, its acceleration will be constant because acceleration depends upon the velocity of the object. Also due to circular motion, the acceleration is directed towards the center point. The tangential component of the acceleration tend to be constant in this zero.
