Question

What type of acceleration does an object moving in a circular path with constant speed experience?

Answer 1

centripetal acceleration

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

centripetal acceleration

Step-by-step explanation:

When a object moves in a circular path with constant speed, the direction changes continuously. The rate of change of velocity is known as centripetal acceleration in case of uniform circular motion. The centripetal acceleration acts along the radius of the circular path.

`a_c=(v^2)/(r)`

where, v is the velocity and r is the radius.
