Physics-Uniform Circular Motion
NEET Physics Uniform Circular Motion MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
Which of the following statements about uniform circular motion is correct?
A
The acceleration vector is directed towards the center of the circle.
B
The speed of the object is constantly changing during the motion.
C
The velocity vector is always perpendicular to the radius vector.
D
The object experiences no net force while moving in a circle.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In uniform circular motion, the acceleration vector is indeed directed towards the center of the circle, indicating a centripetal acceleration. The speed remains constant, while the direction of the velocity changes, meaning the velocity vector is tangent to the circular path rather than perpendicular to the radius vector.
