No , sorry , that's not what I meant . See my edited post .tms said:You mean a constant velocity.
The discussion revolves around the concept of centripetal acceleration in the context of uniform circular motion. Participants explore the nature of acceleration required to maintain uniform speed in circular paths, questioning the relationship between speed and velocity, and the forces acting on objects in motion.
The conversation is ongoing, with various interpretations being explored. Some participants express confusion about basic concepts, while others attempt to clarify the role of centripetal force and acceleration in circular motion. There is no explicit consensus, but several points of guidance and clarification have been offered.
Participants mention constraints such as the need to consider gravitational and frictional forces in their reasoning. There are indications of confusion regarding the definitions and implications of acceleration in uniform circular motion.

yes that's true but in places like planetary motionQwertywerty said:Edit : If an object's velocity is changing in the sense that it's direction changes but not it's magnitude , then force is not affecting the speed of the object - because magnitude of velocity isn't changing in that case , only it's direction is .
I'm sorry , is this what you have been talking about this whole time ?faiziqb12 said:here in the string example there is gravitation of Earth and to balance it u need a constantly applied force
thats what i am talking about
Qwertywerty said:On the surface , or in the air ? You mean , uniform speed ?
Also , it's to a string and the only other force is the force of gravity ?
