Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11
Assertion (A): The centripetal force required for circular motion is always directed towards the center of the circle. | Reason (R): In uniform circular motion, the acceleration is directed towards the center of the circle and is equal to v^2/R.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true, but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The centripetal force is directed towards the center of the circle, providing the centripetal acceleration, which is v^2/R as per the NCERT context.
