An object that has the tendency to move forward in a straight line will undergo(1)____________as long as there is a(2)____________that pulls the object(3)__________towards the(4)_________of the circular path it is traversing.

The(5)____________of an object undergoing UCM is constant -the object can cover the same amount of revolutions per second. Though the(6)___________of the object has a constant magnitude, its direction is continuously changing since it is always(7)___________to the circle and always(8)___________to the centripetal acceleration at any instant.

The greater the(9)_____________, the higher the tangential speed for a given radius. Generally, a circular path with a large(10)__________will allow greater tangential speeds for a given centripetal force.

Choices:

center

centripetal acceleration

centripetal force

inward

perpendicular

radius

tangent

tangential speed
