A Particle Traveling Around A Circle At Constant Speed Will Experience An Acceleration. True Or False?
Answer: True.
Explanation
True. Velocity is a vector, which means it has both a magnitude and a direction. Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over time. While the particle is not changing the magnitude of its velocity (speed), the object is continuously changing direction in order to move in a circle. Thus, the particle will experience acceleration.
