The characteristics of the velocity vector used to find the results for the direction of acceleration and velocity are:
- Acceleration is towards the center of the circle
- The velocity is tangent to the circle counterclockwise.
Newton's Second Law establishes a relationship between force, mass and acceleration of bodies.
Centripetal acceleration.
In the case of circular motion there is a constant change in the direction of the velocity vector, even when its module remains constant, this change in direction points towards the center of the circle, so that the module is constant.
They indicate that the satellite is moving counterclockwise, therefore the speed must go to the left (counterclockwise) tangential to the circle.
In conclusion using the characteristics of the velocity vector we can find the results for the direction of acceleration and velocity are:
- Acceleration is towards the center of the circle
- The velocity is tangent to the circle counterclockwise.
