Select the correct answer. What are the directions of an object's velocity and acceleration vectors when the object moves in a circular path with a constant speed? A. The question is meaningless, since the acceleration is zero.
B. The vectors point in opposite directions.
C. Both vectors point in the same direction.
D. The vectors are perpendicular.

Respuesta :

The centripetal acceleration which always  act toward the center of the circle. The vectors are perpendicular. The correct answer for this question, is option D

The speed of an object is always constant in a  circular motion while the object keeps changing direction regularly. The velocity will keep changing because of the change in direction.

Whenever there is a change in velocity, there must be acceleration.

When the object is moving in a circular path with a constant speed, the directions of an object's velocity and acceleration vectors will be perpendicular to each other

The reason is because acceleration is centripetal acceleration which always  act toward the center of the circle.

Therefore, the correct answer for this question, is option D
