Centripetal Acceleration
E.Q. What forces act as they move in a circle?
H.P.2B.8 Develop and use models (such as a computer simulation, drawing, or demonstration) and Newton’s Second Law of Motion to construct explanations for why an object moving at a constant speed in a circle is accelerating.

Multiple Choice
An object moves in a circular path at a constant
speed. Compare the direction of the object's
velocity and acceleration vectors.
Both vectors point in the same direction
The vectors point in opposite directions
The vectors are perpendicular
The question is meaningless, since the
acceleration is zero
22
Multiple Choice
What type of acceleration does an object moving
with constant speed in a circular path experience?
free fall
constant acceleration
linear acceleration
centripetal acceleration
23
Multiple Choice
Consider a particle moving with constant speed
such that its acceleration of constant magnitude
is always perpendicular to its velocity.
It is moving in a straight line
It is moving in a circle
It is moving in a parabola
None of the above is definitely true
all of the time
