Answer: Centripetal Force Quick Check
1. For an object in circular motion, in what direction does the centripetal force act?
- toward the center of the circle
2. For an object spinning around a central point, what will happen if its distance from the center is decreased?
- Its acceleration will increase.
3. In what way is an object moving in a circle always accelerating?
- Its velocity toward the center is always increasing.
4. Why is it that if the centripetal force on an object increases, its acceleration increases?
- Its velocity increases.
