What is the direction of velocity of an object in circular motion?​

Answered by admin @



While the actual direction of the object (and thus, of the velocity vector) is changing, its direction is always tangent to the circle. To summarize, an object moving in uniform circular motion is moving around the perimeter of the circle with a constant speed.
