Does acceleration change in uniform circular motion?

In CIRCULAR MOTION there are two types of accelaration... 1. Tangential acceleration,which is responsible for the change in magnitude given by a=dv/dt. 2. read more

In uniform circular motion, velocity changes due to change in direction, eventhough magnitude remains constant(displacement is vector quantity). Consequently, acceleration (a quantity dependent on velocity) changes . So,YES! Linear acceleration does change for an object in uniform circular motion. Thank you. read more

Centripetal Acceleration Before discussing the dynamics of uniform circular motion, we must explore its kinematics. Because the direction of a particle moving in a circle changes at a constant rate, it must experience uniform acceleration. read more
