Question

a person is at an amusement park, on a ride that is going in a circle at a constant speed. while riding, which direction is the person accelerating? (1 point) away from the center of the ride in the direction opposite the spin, tangent to the circle in the direction they are spinning, tangent to the circle towards the center of the ride

Explanation:

When an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed, it is undergoing centripetal acceleration. Centripetal acceleration is always directed towards the center of the circular path. This is because the velocity vector of the object is constantly changing direction (even though the speed is constant), and the acceleration is responsible for this change in direction.

Answer:

towards the center of the ride
