<h2>Answer: Toward the center of the circle.</h2>

This situation is characteristic of the uniform circular motion , in which the movement of a body describes a circumference of a given radius with constant speed.  

However, in this movement the velocity has a constant magnitude, but its direction varies continuously.

Let's say \vec{V} is the velocity vector, whose direction is perpendicular to the radius r of the trajectory, therefore   the acceleration \vec{a} is directed toward the center of the circumference.

A train travels 55 kilometers in 2 hours, and then 52 kilometers in 5 hours. What is its average speed?
bulgar [2K]

The formula for working out speed is distance ÷ time.

55 km ÷ 2 hours = 27.5 km/h (average speed for first part of journey)

52km ÷ 5 hours = 10.4 km/h (average speed for second part of journey)

(27.5 + 10.4) ÷ 2 = 18.95 km/h (average speed throughout the journey)
