Circular Motion

Why does an object moving at constant speed in a circle undergo acceleration?

A
  • Velocity is a scalar
  • The direction is constantly changing
  • Acceleration is the rate of change of distance
B
  • Velocity is a vector
  • The direction is constantly changing
  • Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity
C
  • Velocity is a scalar
  • The speed is constantly changing
  • Acceleration is the rate of change of speed
D
  • Velocity is a vector
  • The magnitude is constantly changing
  • Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity
