What name is given to the acceleration experienced by a particle in uniform circular motion?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Uniform Circular Motion**: - In uniform circular motion, a particle moves in a circular path at a constant speed. Although the speed remains constant, the direction of the particle's velocity changes continuously. 2. **Identifying the Nature of Acceleration**: - Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Since the direction of the velocity vector is changing in uniform circular motion, there must be an acceleration acting on the particle. ...
