What is the angle between velocity vector and acceleration vector in a uniform circular motion

Answered by admin @



Hi, This is the answer

When the object is moving in uniform circular motion, then the angle between the velocity vector and acceleration vector is equal to 90 degrees. In this case, the type of acceleration caused is generally called centripetal acceleration. Thus acceleration vector forms 90-degree angle with the velocity vector.
