Is The diameter of a circle is a chord that does not always pass through the center of the circle.?
The diameter of a circle is a circle's largest chord.
Does a cord that is a diameter always pass through the center of the circle?
Yes, a cord that is a diameter always passes through the center of a circle. And it's also the longest cord of that circle.
Is half a circle always called a semi-circle?
Yes, that is the definition of a semicircle.
Is an isosceles trapezoid always inscribed in a circle?
If you want to, you can always draw a circle around an isosceles trapezoid and the radius can be half the base of the trapezoid.
What is the shape of the base of a cone?
The base of a cone is always a circle. it also can be a ellipse.
Is something accelerating with a constant speed?
That is possible, for example, if an object moves around in a circle. In this case, the velocity changes all the time; the speed does not.
When an object is traveling in a circle it is accelerating but what is in constanly changing?
direction
Why is static friction in use in a car accelerating around a circle?
Please answer this question
Why is something accelerating when it is traveling in a circle?
Something is accelerating when it is traveling in a circle because the direction of its velocity is changing.It is important to understand that a velocity not only has a magnitude but it also has a direction. In general, if the magnitude and/or direction of an object's velocity is changing, we say that it is accelerating.Again, if something is traveling and only the direction that it is traveling changes, we still say it is accelerating because the direction that it is traveling is changing.This is the case when something is traveling in a circle at constant speed. If you where to represent its velocity by a vector you would find that while the magnitude of the vector does not change over time, the direction of the vector does. In fact, over a very short period of time, if you where to represent the change in direction of its velocity by a vector, you would find that that "difference vector" points directly toward the center of the circle.Again, this is all a bit confusing because when we generally use the word "accelerate" we mean that something is speeding up. However one just has to get use to the idea that when something is accelerating, it may be that only the direction of its velocity is changing and not necessarily the magnitude of its velocity.To learn more about this go to the related links below.
If you constantly walk in a circle are you constantly accelerating?
Yes. That should only bother people who still think that 'accelerating' means 'speeding up'. It doesn't. 'Acceleration' means any change of speed or direction.
Does earth travel in a circle around the sun?
yes the galaxy does revolve around the sun. gravity may have something to do with it because i think that it holds the universe together
Does a radius sometimes always or never connects the center of the circle with a point on the circle?
always.
Is the center of a circle always in the interior of a circle?
Yes
Is the radius always equal to the diameter of a circle?
No, the radius of a circle is always 1/2 of the diameter.
When is a time where speed does not change but the object is still accelerating?
Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity. Velocity is a vector. It has a magnitude ( speed ) and a directio. If either the speed or the direction of motion changes the object is accelerating. Example; an object moving in a circle at constant speed is accelerating because its direction is continually changing.
Describe a situation in which an object accelerates without changing speed?
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, so velocity must always be changing if the object is accelerating. HOWEVER, you said speed which means only magnitude, not direction. If you stay the same speed, but change direction then you are accelerating. Simple answer: when you are going the same speed in a circle - velocity changes, therefore acceleration changes.
What movie is this... a scene near the end there are people standing in a circle with guns and someone shoots and the bullet travels in a circle and kills them all?
