No , sorry , that's not what I meant . See my edited post .tms said:You mean a constant velocity.
The discussion centers on the nature of centripetal acceleration in uniform circular motion. Participants clarify that centripetal acceleration is constant and responsible for changing the direction of an object's velocity while maintaining a constant speed. The centripetal force, provided by tension in a string or gravitational force, is essential for keeping an object in circular motion. It is established that while the object's speed remains constant, its velocity changes due to the continuous change in direction, and no additional acceleration is required to maintain uniform speed.
PREREQUISITESStudents of physics, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of circular motion and the principles of acceleration and force.

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 ?
