Q127 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2020 (09 Sep Shift 2) · Physics
For a particle executing uniform circular motion
- Correct answerAvelocity is transverse and acceleration is radial
- Bvelocity is transverse and acceleration is transverse
- Cvelocity is radial and acceleration is transverse
- Dvelocity is radial and acceleration is radial
Solution
The uniform circular
motion of a particle is shown in figure.

Thus, from figure, it is clear that the velocity of particle act: along the tangent to the circle and the acceleration acts towards the centre of circle. i.c., velocity is transverse and acceleration is radial in nature.

Thus, from figure, it is clear that the velocity of particle act: along the tangent to the circle and the acceleration acts towards the centre of circle. i.c., velocity is transverse and acceleration is radial in nature.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
