Circular Motion Physics

An object moving in a circle with constant velocity has ZERO acceleration.

• TRUE

• FALSE

WHICH STATEMENT IS TRUE?

• An object moving in a circle will continue in circular motion when released.

• An object in circular motion will fly out radially (curved) when released.

• An object moving in circular motion will fly out tangent (straight line) to the circular path when released.

• Up

• Down

• Left

• Right
