Yes. Acceleration means any change in speed or direction of motion. When an object coasts in a circular orbit at constant speed around the Earth, its direction is constantly changing. The acceleration is "CENTRIPETAL", which points toward the center of the circle.

Answer: YES it is accelerating and the direction is towards the centre

Explanation:

Acceletion is defined as the ratio of change in velocity in a direction with time. When a space shuttle moves in a circular orbit, accelerating at a constant speed, it's movement is centripetal. And it accelerates towards the centre.

Travka [436]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a penny is dropped from a height of 20 meters then it will achieve an acceleration.

As acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of an object with respect to time. Therefore, the velocity does not remain constant.

Whereas mass of the penny will remain the same as it will not get affected when it falls. Also, there will be no change in direction of the penny as it is falling only in one direction.

The acceleration of penny is due to the force of gravity.

Thus, we can conclude that the force of gravity causes it to accelerate.
