Question

Describe the relationship between the direction of the velocity vector and the direction of the acceleration or a body moving in a circle at constant speed.

Answer 1

In the centripetal movement, what happens with velocity is that it will remain constant, always pointing in its tangential direction of the trajectory. Said speed, although constant, will have a constant direction that will generate an acceleration that will always point towards the center of the circle radius. Both vectors as the turn is performed will always be perpendicular to each other.
