example of acceleration is in the direction of motion?

In Example A, the object is moving in the positive direction (i.e., has a positive velocity) and is speeding up. When an object is speeding up, the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity. Thus, this object has a positive acceleration.

An object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nonetheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. The direction of the acceleration is inwards.

Explanation : Acceleration : It is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time.

Velocity is speed in a given direction. Acceleration is change in velocity divided by time.

Summarizing, a particle moving in a circle at a constant speed has an acceleration with magnitude. aC=v2r. a C = v 2 r . The direction of the acceleration vector is toward the center of the circle ((Figure)).

Acceleration is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. Just as you said in the question, the direction of acceleration is changing in uniform circular motion. Therefore acceleration is variable, as a vector quantity is said to be variable if either its magnitude or its direction is changing.

Consider the two data tables below. In each case, the acceleration of the object is in the positive direction. In Example A, the object is moving in the positive direction (i.e., has a positive velocity) and is speeding up. When an object is speeding up, the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity.

An object which experiences either a change in the magnitude or the direction of the velocity vector can be said to be accelerating. This explains why an object moving in a circle at constant speed can be said to accelerate - the direction of the velocity changes. 3.

If the acceleration is in the direction of velocity, the acceleration will change the magnitude the of velocity(change speed). However, if the acceleration is always perpendicular to the velocity, the velocity will change direction without change it's magnitude. This is the circular motion.

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Usually, acceleration means the speed is changing, but not always. When an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed, it is still accelerating, because the direction of its velocity is changing.

Positive acceleration is acceleration that has a direction pointing in the positive direction, while negative acceleration is an acceleration that has a direction pointing in the negative direction.

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. At any point on a trajectory, the magnitude of the acceleration is given by the rate of change of velocity in both magnitude and direction at that point. The true acceleration at time t is found in the limit as time interval Δt → 0 of Δv/Δt.

So, the acceleration is the change in the velocity, divided by the time. Acceleration has a magnitude (a value) and a direction. The direction of the acceleration does not have to be the same as the direction of the velocity. The units for acceleration are meters per second squared (m/s2). a = acceleration (m/s2)

The direction of the acceleration is inwards. The animation at the right depicts this by means of a vector arrow. The final motion characteristic for an object undergoing uniform circular motion is the net force. The net force acting upon such an object is directed towards the center of the circle.

With 1D movement, if you push or pull, the acceleration has to be “parallel” to the velocity. It means (genernally) that the acceleration will not change the direction of the velocity (except in cases where the acceleration is negative to the velocity).

No, when a body is under uniform acceleration doesn't mean that it is under uniform motion. Uniform acceleration means, that the velocity of body is changing with a constant rate. On the other hand, uniform motion means that the body is in motion with constant velocity.

If the motion is in a straight line with constant speed, then acceleration is zero. But if the motion is circular with a constant speed, then the acceleration is never zero. This is because at every point, direction of motion is changing, hence its velocity is changing, therefore, resulting in an accelerated motion.
