Determine instantaneous acceleration vector of an object, Physics

Assignment Help:

For an object moving in uniform circular motion, the direction of the instantaneous acceleration vector is:

w) tangent to the path of motion

x) equal to zero

y) directed radially outward

z) directed radially inward

Ans:

The direction of the instantaneous acceleration vector is directed radially inward, for an object moving in uniform circular motion.
