Write a conclusion to this activity in which you completely and intelligently describe the characteristics of an object that is traveling in uniform circular motion. Give attention to the quantities speed, velocity, acceleration and net force.

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but there are some characteristics that are peculiar to an object traveling in uniform circular motion.

An object moving in a uniform circular motion generally has a constant speed with which it uses to move in a circle (the object moves round/tangent to the circle). This then means the object will move in different direction although with the same speed. This change in direction means the object will accelerate (inwards) at different velocities (since velocity is a vector quantity that measures both magnitude and direction). Because the object moves with different velocities; this makes the object an accelerating object.

From the descriptions above, it can be conceived/visualized that the net force acting on an object in a uniform circular motion is a centripetal force. This is because the net force acting on the object is directed towards the center of the circle the object in rotating/moving in. Without this net force, the object would have moved in a straight line and thus not changing it's direction. The formula used to calculate this centripetal force is

Fc = mv²/r

where Fc is the centripetal force

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

r is the radius of the curvature/curved path

true is the correct answer
