Yes this is possible if the speed is changing. An object moves in a circular path at a constant speed. I hope this helps my friend.

Answer:

The correct answer is "is directed toward the center of motion".

Step-by-step explanation:

When an object moves in a uniform circular motion, the centrifugal acceleration of the object is directed toward the center of the motion. This acceleration is the only acceleration of the object experiences when it has constant velocity on a circular path. This causes the body to be attracted to the center of the trajectory by a centripetal force that prevents the body from entering a rectilinear trajectory.

Have a nice day!
