Q127 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2020 (09 Sep Shift 2) · Physics

For a particle executing uniform circular motion

  • Correct answer
    A
    velocity is transverse and acceleration is radial
  • B
    velocity is transverse and acceleration is transverse
  • C
    velocity is radial and acceleration is transverse
  • D
    velocity is radial and acceleration is radial

Solution

The uniform circular motion of a particle is shown in figure. 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.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
