What happens when velocity and acceleration are at right angles to each other?

Asked by Marcus12

Answer (3)

You get circular motion, where the acceleration is pointing towards the center of the circle, as long as they are constant, and not fluctuating.

When velocity and acceleration are at r ight angles to each other :
A circular motion occurs

Factors responsible for a circular motion
Given that the constant velocity and acceleration of an object in motion,are at right angles to each other ( i.e both point towards the center), the object will continue to move in a circular motion.
Hence we can conclude that When velocity and acceleration are at r ight angles to each other : A circular motion occurs

When velocity and acceleration are at right angles, it indicates circular motion, with velocity being tangent to the path and centripetal acceleration directed toward the center. This results in a continuous change of direction in the velocity vector while maintaining constant speed. An example is a car turning on a circular track, where the speed is constant but the direction is always changing.
