Which of the following statements are true of an object moving in a circle at a constant speed? Include all that apply. The object experiences a force which has a component directed parallel to the direction of motion. Inertia causes objects to move in a circle. There can be a force pushing outwards on the object as long as the net force in inwards. Because the speed is constant, the acceleration is zero. The acceleration and the net force vector are directed perpendicular to each other. If the net force acting upon the object is suddenly reduced to zero, then the object would suddenly depart from its circular path and travel tangent to the circle. The acceleration of the object is directed tangent to the circle.
