Question
Which law determines the direction of an object’s acceleration as it is moving in uniform circular motion?
- Newton’s first law of motion
- Newton’s second law of motion
- Newton’s third law of motion
- Universal law of motion
Hint:
Because an object in uniform circular motion undergoes constant acceleration (by changing direction), we know from Newton's second law of motion that there must be a constant net external force acting on the object. Any force or combination of forces can cause a centripetal acceleration
The correct answer is: Newton’s second law of motion
