Question

an object is moving clockwise around the circle. identify the direction of the velocity vector at location d.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the property of velocity vector in circular motion

The velocity vector of an object in circular motion is always tangent to the circular path at the point of the object's location.

Step2: Determine the tangent direction at location D for clock - wise motion

Since the object is moving clock - wise around the circle, at location D, the tangent to the circle (direction of velocity vector) is to the left.

Answer:

The velocity vector at location D is directed to the left.
