Is it possible for speed to be constant while acceleration is not zero? Give an example of such a situation.
A. An object moving in a circle with uniform speed has no change of speed but it has acceleration. It has centripetal acceleration towards the center of the circle. B. An object moving in a triangle with non-uniform speed has no change of speed but it has acceleration. It has scalar acceleration towards the center of the triangle. C. An object moving in an ellipse with uniform speed has no change of speed but it has momentum. It has centripetal acceleration towards the tangent of the circle.
