What is the acceleration of a body revolving in a circle at uniform speed? the acceleration is zero. the acceleration is directed tangentially. the acceleration is directed toward the center. the acceleration is directed away from the center.

A body revolving in circle generally has tangential acceleration if the speed is changing. Since the speed is uniform here, the tangential acceleration is zero.

centripetal acceleration is directed towards the center and is given as

a = v²/r                    where a = centripetal acceleration , v = speed , r = radius

Since both speed and radius are constant here, the centripetal acceleration is constant and is always directed towards the center.

hence the correct choice is

The acceleration is directed toward the center.

the bal will not change its velocity.

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
