For an object to undergo uniform circular motion, its velocity must have a constant magnitude but a direction that is always changing. In other words, the object is experiencing a continuous acceleration. What is the direction of this continuous acceleration for uniform circular motion?

Its direction is pointed inwards towards the center of the circular path being traversed by the object

Its direction is pointed outwards away from the center of the circular path being traversed by the object

Its direction is tangential to the circular path being traversed by the object

Its direction is perpendicular to the circular path being traversed by the object

A 0.575 kg ball at the end of a string is swinging in a horizontal circle of radius 0.621 m. The ball makes exactly 4.00 revolutions in a second. What is the magnitude of its centripetal acceleration (ac)?

ac = 392 m/s/s

ac = 251 m/s/s

ac = 652 m/s/s

ac = 233 m/s/s
