NEET Physics Uniform Circular Motion MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11
An object moves in a circular path of radius 10 m with a constant speed of 5 m/s. What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the object?
A
5 m/s²
B
5 m/s²
C
5 m/s²
D
0 m/s²
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The centripetal acceleration is given by a_c = v²/R, where v is the velocity and R is the radius. Substituting v=5 m/s and R=10 m, a_c = 25/10 = 2.5 m/s².
