Is it possible to have an object moving in a certain direction with an accleration in perpendicular direction?

tell me what does the movement in the perpendicular directiopn refers to ? is it something about graphs? explain me in detail!please!Is it possible to have an object moving in a certain direction with an accleration in perpendicular direction?
OF course yes!


Centripetal accleration .... when you are moving in acircular path, your dirction of motion is alng the tangent at that particular point and the centripetal accleration is perpendicular to that tangent!





Thats it!





Is it clear?Is it possible to have an object moving in a certain direction with an accleration in perpendicular direction?
If it's acceleration in a perp direction, it will not be a ';certain direction'; because it will not be a straight line. Imagine you are in a plane going forward. there is a jet engine aiming sideways off the right wing. You turn it on. You will still go forward but also to the left on a diagonal. If the engine is ACCELERATING (not a constant speed but always increasing) it will push you in an arc.
All circular motion.
Yes, of course. Throw a ball horizontally. The acceleration is downward and the motion is mostly horizontal.
Props to the people who wrote about circular motion. The word for that kind of acceleration, which keeps things moving on circular paths and is perpendicular to the velocity vector is centripetal acceleration.





tOnA is dead wrong and her answer is gibberish. Additionally, being under the influence of gravity (a car driving along but feeling the pull of gravity towards the ground) is NOT accelerating. Acceleration is the quotient of the net force and the body mass, or the change in acceleration vector velocity. In the case of gravity, if you are standing on the ground, the force of gravity is counteracted by the normal force of the ground. The 2 forces cancel each other out and you don't move (this is trivially why you don't fall through the ground). So if you are standing on the ground, even though you are under the influence of a force, you do not speed up, slow down, or change direction (your velocity doesn't change) due to gravity. So in this case you are not accelerating perpendicular to anything. You just aren't accelerating.
hey, just remember a car moving at constant velocity always has acceleration dur to gravity downwards, so....!
tOna is wrong. The definition of perpendicular is ';at 90 degrees';. The way she is using it is making the object slow down with is 180 degrees acceleration vector from the velocity vector.





Perpendicular acceleration vector to the current velocity vector is quite possible and the two are not mutually exclusive. I'm not sure since I don't know what equation you're using but it sounds like the object might be describing a circle under those circumstances.





tom
Perpendicular direction usually refers to a movement of 90 degrees to the horizontal plane.





If you have an object moving on a horizontal plane and it is struck by an object moving towards it perpendicularly the horizontal object will be displaced in direction from the horizontal. Depending on the impact speed the horizontal will be displaced at a given rate. This would be true at any other angle as well.





Take two tennis balls..have one person roll one ball across the floor. With the second ball roll it so it will impact the 1st ball. The first ball will be displaced by the speed of the 2nd ball.





Mathematically or by graph I don't remember anymore it has been nearly 45 years since I had to do it...
Inside an elevator, if you move side way, you move parallel to the floor of the elevator. But you and the elevator are accelerating in upward or downward direction,which is perpendicular to the horizontal direction.
yes just look at the moon. the earth puts a force on it perpendicular to the direction it is moving at any time. this causes it to go around in circles.
in circular motion direction of motion and acceleration are perpendicular to each other
Okay, this is a physics thing. When something is moving forward, there will always be perpendicular acceleration, which is basically saying that it's slowing down. The reason there is perpendicular acceleration is friction. If there was no friction, there would be no perpendicular acceleration. So don't confuse yourself! Physics is pretty easy!
Yes, this is what causes circular motion. The acceleration is always along the string because the force is always along the string. The object is always moving perp to the string. Therefore, the object on the string is always accelerating perp to the path of travel.





It isn't about graphs. It's about vectors.





Note, the object doesn't speed up or slow down. It just changes direction. This is because the acceleration is never in the same direction as the velocity vector.
Yes. See ';centripetal acceleration.'; An object traveling in a circular (orbital) path experiences acceleration toward the center of the circle, which is always perpendicular to the direction of motion.





Also, when you walk down the street at a constant speed, you are accelerating (due to gravity) downward.
the only time it works is in circular motion. It is called centripital acceleration
yes it is perfecetly possible to have this motion


the motion so acquirer tc circular motion


the force responsible for this acc is ';centripetal acceleration ';


this is the motion htat goverens all planatery motion and motion of sattlite i would advicew u to read the first chapter of the 12TH class or any iit or aieee physics book for a detailed sol and equations


best of luck
