Question #118116

If an object travels at a constant speed in a circular path, the acceleration of the object is
1 : larger in magnitude the smaller the radius of the circle.
2 : in the same direction as the velocity of the object.
3 : smaller in magnitude the smaller the radius of the circle.
4 : in the opposite direction of the velocity of the object.
5 : zero.

Expert's answer

Acceleration in a circular motion is equal to v2r\frac{v^2}{r}

hence larger the radius lesser is the acceleration and lesser the radius larger the acceleration

hence option 1 is correct
