In what direction do the velocity vectors point in circular motion?


Sagot :

The velocity vector is always perpendicular to the radius. By radius, I mean the inward centripetal force that pulls the object to continue on its curved path. Without this inward force, the object would continue on a straight path tangential to the curve it was previously on.
