v
For a particle traveling in a circle at a constant speed, the acceleration is toward the center of the circle, known as centripetal acceleration. The acceleration is determined by the formula a = v^2 / r, where v is the speed of the particle and r is the distance from the origin (radius of the circle). This relationship shows that as the speed or radius changes, the centripetal acceleration will change accordingly.
If an object is moving in a circle with a constant speed, its acceleration is directed towards the center of the circle and is constant in magnitude. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration and is required to keep the object moving in a circular path.
Traveling in any direction, but moving is acceleration. if a particle moves in a circle and comes to the initial position, then the velocity would be zero. acceleration is a scalar quantity and not a vector quantity. answered by K.Sreram from India
centripetal acceleration
False. In uniform circular motion, the instantaneous acceleration is directed towards the center of the circle, which is called the centripetal acceleration. This acceleration is responsible for changing the direction of the velocity of the particle, even though its speed remains constant.
Since no values are given, the answer must be a general one. A particle in circular motion undergoes centripetalacceleration. Inertial motion is straight line motion. Any change in motion (including direction) requires positive or negative acceleration. In order to move along a circular (or any curved) path, a particle's direction of motion is in a constant state of diversion from straight line inertial motion, so it moves under a contant state of acceleration.
The angular momentum is a constant.
Centripetal force is a force that makes a body follow a curved path: it is always directed orthogonal to the velocity of the body, toward the instantaneous center of curvature of the path. - See more at: http://www.chacha.com/question/what-is-the-path-of-a-moving-body-whose-acceleration-is-constant-in-magnitude-at-all-times-and-is-perpendicular-to-the-velocity#sthash.pqrkWxfT.dpuf
In a cyclotron, one may speed up a particle that was traveling in a circular path, by the expedient of adding more energy to the particle, and increasing the strength of the constraining magnet, so that the path stays the same.
The acceleration of anything moving at a constant speed in a circle is towards the center of the circle.
The force toward the centre of the circle is called the centripetal force. centrpetal acceleration.
Are you talking about the Illinois Particle accelerator? Well I think that it doesn't go at a constant speed but at a constant Acceleration, since it is accelerating and not staying at one speed is is therefor Constant Acceleration until they slowly work it up to almost the speed of light.
