Physics-Uniform Circular Motion
NEET Physics Uniform Circular Motion MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 11
In a diagram showing uniform circular motion, consider a point P on the circular path with velocity vector and position vector . Which of the following correctly describes the orientation of these vectors?

A
Velocity vector is perpendicular to position vector .
B
Velocity vector is parallel to position vector .
C
Velocity vector forms an angle of 45° with position vector .
D
Velocity vector is opposite to position vector .
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In uniform circular motion, the velocity vector at any point is always tangent to the circle, making it perpendicular to the radius vector at that point.
