Question

1. what type of velocity describes the motion of an object around a circle?

○ average velocity
○ vector velocity
○ tangential velocity
○ instantaneous velocity

Explanation:

For an object moving in a circular path, its velocity at any point is directed along the tangent to the circle at that point. This specific velocity is defined as tangential velocity, which directly describes the object's circular motion. Average velocity is overall displacement over time, vector velocity is a general term for velocity with direction, and instantaneous velocity is the velocity at a single moment (which for circular motion is tangential, but the term specifically tied to circular motion is tangential velocity).

Answer:

tangential velocity
