Is the acceleration of a body in uniform circular motion constant?
Guest11235150 Acceleration is vector quantity so it is not constant since direction is changing. However magnitude of acceleration may remain constant Report (0) (0) | 1 year, 2 month(s) ago Guest3383 yes Report (0) (0) | earlier Guest4515 acceleration in uniform motion is zero Report (0) (0) | earlier Guest8979 The scalar value of the acceleration would be constant; however, if you are considering acceleration as a vector quantity, it would not be constant because its direction is ever changing. That is, if you wrote it as a vector quantity, such as a = Xi + Yj + Zk , then X, Y, and Z would not be constant, but their scalar value, SQRT (X**2 + Y**2 + Z**2) would be constant.
