If the speed of an object in uniform circular motion is tripled and the radial distance remains constant, then the magnitude of the centripital acceleration increases by what factor?
In uniform circular motion, the acceleration is perpendicular to the velocity at every instant. Is this true when the motion is not uniform— that is, when the speed is not constant?
A hawk flies in a horizontal arc of radius 12.0 m at constant speed 4.00 m/s. (a) Find its centripetal acceleration. (b) It continues to fly along the same horizontal arc, but increases its speed at the rate of 1.20 m/s2. Find the acceleration (magnitude and direction) in this situation at the momentthe hawk’s speed is 4.00 m/s.
