Understanding Circular Motion

What determines the velocity in circular motion?

• The angle and the mass

• The radius and the rate of change of the angle

• The mass and the radius

• The speed and the radius

In uniform circular motion, what remains constant?

• The acceleration

• The magnitude of the velocity

• The radius of the circle

• The direction of the velocity vector

What is the relationship between acceleration and velocity in uniform circular motion?

• Acceleration is the integral of velocity

• Acceleration is the derivative of velocity

• Acceleration is the square of velocity

• Acceleration is the inverse of velocity

How is the velocity vector decomposed in the derivation of acceleration?

• Into cylindrical components

• Into spherical components

• Into Cartesian components

• Into polar components

What mathematical rule is applied to differentiate the velocity vector?

• Quotient rule

• Power rule

• Product rule

• Chain rule
