perpendicular to the wave motion.
<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
is the velocity vector, whose direction is perpendicular to the radius
of the trajectory, therefore
the acceleration
is directed toward the center of the circumference.
