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 towards the center motion. PLEASE HELP SO CONFUSED

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you think is the answer? what are you confused with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D. It is always directed towards the centre.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was thinking B but I don't understand.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.. think about this if acceleration and velocity are in the same direction.. what happens to the speed of an object?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the speed will increase..!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m asking victoria buddy :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh...sorry my friend. So Victoria will think about that and tell us the reason WHY ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think she left, since she got the answer.. :P.. see thats why we don't give direct answers!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea, I'd call this question closed. I almost thought it was B, too, until I really considered what "perpendicular to the plane of motion" meant - kind of like the rod sticking out of a sundial.
