1 thought on “Why the acceleration is zero when a body undergoing uniform motion”
Answer:
The direction changes due to the centripetal acceleration which is radially inward. Thus, the net acceleration in the case of uniform circular motion is perpendicular to the velocity. … (a) The acceleration of the particle is zero. (b) The rate of change of speed equals the magnitude of the rate of change of velocity.
