Question

question 3 (1 point) an object traveling in a circular path is accelerating because its ______. a mass changes b direction changes c momentum changes d speed changes

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Acceleration is a vector quantity that involves a change in velocity. Velocity has both magnitude (speed) and direction. In circular - motion, even if the speed is constant, the direction of the object is constantly changing. Since a change in velocity (either in magnitude or direction) results in acceleration, an object traveling in a circular path is accelerating because its direction changes.

Answer:

B. direction changes
