NEET Physics Uniform Circular Motion MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations regarding uniform circular motion is correct?
The acceleration is directed towards the center of the circle, and velocity is tangent to the circular path.
The average acceleration is directed along the radius of the circle, and there is no change in velocity during the motion.
The centripetal acceleration can be zero if the speed is constant, and displacement is the same as distance traveled.
The velocity and position vectors are collinear at all points along the circular path.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In uniform circular motion, the acceleration is always directed towards the center of the circle, while the velocity is tangential to the path. This is supported by the statement that at each point, the acceleration is directed towards the center as described in the NCERT context.
