If an object is spinning around a point at a constant [blank_start]speed[blank_end], the object is [blank_start]accelerating[blank_end]. This is because the object is changing [blank_start]direction[blank_end]. This means that the [blank_start]velocity[blank_end] is changing, and as [blank_start]acceleration[blank_end] is the rate of change of velocity, the acceleration changes too.

Pregunta 2
Pregunta
From the previous question, the object is accelerating away from the centre that it is spinning around.
Respuesta
True
False
Pregunta 3
Pregunta
The name of the resultant force that causes the object to accelerate is called [blank_start]centripetal force[blank_end].
Respuesta
centripetal force
centrifugal force
centrifloral force
gravity
air resistance
Pregunta 4
Pregunta
How does the resultant force on the object change when it slows down?
Respuesta
It is increased/it increases.
It is reduced/it decreases.
It stays the same.
The resultant force is not affected by the changing speed.
Pregunta 5
Pregunta
What is meant by the centre of mass?
Respuesta
A fast-food restaurant.
The point at which the mass can be considered to be concentrated.
The heaviest part of an object which has the biggest weight.
An object with the highest mass.
Pregunta 6
Pregunta
To increase the stability of an object, you can [blank_start]lower the centre of mass[blank_end].
