Circular

An object that is moving at a constant speed as it moves in a circle has

• positive tangential acceleration

• negative tangential acceleration

• no tangential acceleration

• no centripetal acceleration

The change in linear speed of an object directed along the tangent to the object’s circular path is

• speed

• velocity

• tangential acceleration

• tension

What force keeps an object moving in a circle?

• centripetal force (inward)

• centrifugal force (outward)

In circular motion, what is consistent?

• the shape of the object
