Actual and fictitious forces π?π??π?π????Note, that even in the case of an object undergoing uniform circular motion, there is a change in the direction of the vector velocity. Therefore the object is moving in an accelerated frame of reference accelerating with centripetal acceleration, ac, toward the center of the circular trajectory.
