- 8. Multiple Choice
Why do objects experience centripetal acceleration even though they can have a constant speed?
Because they are speeding up as they move in a circle
Because they are constantly changing direction and hence, velocity changes, and that net change is directed inward.
Because they are constantly changing both speed and direction
Because when you have 100 people pedaling, you can speed up more easily.
- 9. Multiple ChoiceWhich statement is true about an object that is traveling in uniform circular motion?The speed of the object varies.The net force on the object is directed toward the center of the circular path.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.
