An object moves in a circular path at a constant speed. what is the relationship between the directions of the object's velocity and acceleration vectors? (a)-the velocity and acceleration vectors point in opposite directions. (b)-the velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular. (c)-the velocity vector points in a direction tangent to the circular path. the acceleration is zero.
(d)-the velocity vector points toward the center of the circular path. the acceleration is zero. (e)-the velocity and acceleration vectors point in the same direction.

Answertraveling around a circular trackexplanation"traveling around a circular track" is the best answer as you could be traveling around a circular track at a constant speed. your velocity would therefore have the same magnitude but will always be constantly direction. since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, the rate of change will only involve the direction of velocity and not the magnitude.wrong choices: "an object at rest" does not accelerate at all"increasing speed while traveling around a curve" means that the acceleration will not be constant due to only change in direction; it will be constant due to both magnitude and direction"an object in free fall" does not necessarily change direction
