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

A wave has wavelength of 10 m and a speed of 340 m/s. What is the frequency of the wave?

34 m/s

3400 Hz

3400 m/s

34 Hz

Multiple Choice

A wave has frequency of 50 Hz and a wavelength of 10 m. What is the speed of the wave?

500 m/s

50 m/s

5 m/s

0.5 m/s

Multiple Choice

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

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

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

Multiple Choice

An object is traveling with a velocity of 6.0 m/s

in a circular path whose radius is 4.0m. What is the

magnitude of it centripetal acceleration?

9.0 m/s²

18 m/s²
