Question

When an object is moving with uniform circular motion, the centripetal acceleration of the object  

    a. is circular.
   b.  is perpendicular to the plane of motion.
   c.  is zero.
    d. is directed toward the center of motion.

I would say D. Toward the center of motion

anonymous · Answer

That is correct, because if there were no forces keeping the object in circular motion it would travel in a straight line, to keep it we need a force (not c) that keeps you in a plane(not b) and there is no such thing as a circular force.

(D) is the answer:)
