NEET Physics Uniform Circular Motion MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-fact-Hard-Class 11
What is the formula for centripetal acceleration in uniform circular motion?
A
a_c = v^2 / R
B
a_c = R / v^2
C
a_c = v / R^2
D
a_c = R^2 / v
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The centripetal acceleration is defined as the acceleration that is directed towards the center of the circular path and is given by the formula a_c = v^2 / R, where v is the speed and R is the radius of the circle.
