What object experiences uniform circular motion ?

A car traveling around a roundabout at a constant speed

A car speeding up as it turns left

A car slowing down as it crests a tall hill

A car traveling down the road at a constant speed

Why do objects experience centripetal acceleration?

Because they are constantly changing direction and the net change is directed inward

Because they are speeding up as they move in a circle

Because they are constantly changing both speed and direction

Because when you have 100 people pedaling, you can speed up more easily.

Centripetal acceleration always points

towards the center of the circle

in the direction of the object's motion

in the opposite direction of the object's motion

towards the outside of the circle

The mass of Jupiter is 300 x that of the Earth, but a person on its surface would only experience a gravitational attraction 3x that of Earth. What is the best explanation for this according to the Universal Law of Gravitation?

Jupiter has a really big radius

Jupiter is mostly a rocky planet

Centrifugal force is a ______

fictitious force that is really just the linear momentum of an object in uniform circular motion.

force that pushes you to the outside of a circle during uniform circular motion.

The force that keeps the planets in orbit

Centripetal acceleration always points

towards the center of the circle

in the direction of the object's motion

in the opposite direction of the object's motion

towards the outside of the circle

Which statement is true about an object that is traveling in uniform circular motion?

The net force on the object is directed toward the center of the circular path.

The speed of the object varies.

The direction of the object's velocity is constant.

The net force on the object is directed away from the center of the circular path.

What is the difference between rotation and revolution?

Rotation is on its own axis while revolution is around another object.

Rotation is around another object while revolution is around its own axis.

r is the distance between the 2 masses

G is the gravitational field strength

F is the repulsive gravitational force

Two objects are 20 meters apart. What effect does increasing the distance between the objects to 60 meters have upon the gravitational attractive force between them?

1/9 the amount of force will exist

1/3 the amount of force will exist

3 times the amount of force will exist

9 times the amount of force will exist
