Question

1. a ball on a rope swung at a constant speed in a circle above your head is in uniform circular motion. in which direction does it accelerate? what force causes this? outward, and tension outward, and gravity inward, and gravity inward, and tension clear all

Explanation:

In uniform circular motion, the acceleration is centripetal (inward). The tension in the rope provides the centripetal force. Gravity acts downward and is not the centripetal - force provider here as the motion is horizontal (assuming the circle is horizontal above the head).

Answer:

Inward, and Tension
