Which of the following statements about circular motion is true?

An object undergoing constant circular motion is accelerating.

The centripetal force acting on an object moving in constant circular motion acts parallel to the direction of an object’s tangential velocity.

The greater the mass of an object, the smaller the centripetal force required to maintain its circular motion.

Radius and centripetal force are directly related.

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.

In uniform circular motion

the speed is constant but the acceleration points towards centre of circular path

the speed and velocity is constant.

the speed is constant but the acceleration is zero

the speed and velocity changes with time.

If a student is swinging a bucket in a horizontal circle, in which direction is the centripetal force on the bucket?

directly inward toward the student's hand

directly outward away from the student's hand

in a straight line tangent to the circle the bucket is inscribing
