FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Back
Uniform Circular Motion is the motion of an object traveling at a constant speed in a circular path. The direction of the object's velocity is continuously changing, which means the object is accelerating even though its speed remains constant.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Can an object moving at constant speed still be accelerating?
Back
Yes, an object can be accelerating while moving at a constant speed if its direction is changing. In uniform circular motion, the speed is constant, but the direction of the velocity vector changes, resulting in centripetal acceleration.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to centripetal force if the mass of the object is doubled?
Back
If the mass of the object is doubled, the centripetal force required to maintain circular motion also doubles, assuming the speed and radius remain constant.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the direction of the velocity vector in uniform circular motion?
Back
The velocity vector in uniform circular motion is always tangent to the circular path at any point, indicating the direction of motion.
