Physics-Uniform Circular Motion

NEET Physics Uniform Circular Motion Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11

Assertion (A): In uniform circular motion, the velocity vector of the object is constantly changing. | Reason (R): The velocity of an object in uniform circular motion is constant because the speed is uniform.

A

Both A and R are true, and R explains A.

B

Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A.

C

A is true, but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

In uniform circular motion, the speed is constant, but the direction of the velocity vector changes continuously, thus the velocity is not constant. The reason provided is incorrect.
