NEET Physics Uniform Circular Motion MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-fact-Medium-Class 11
What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration for an object moving with speed v in a circular path of radius R?
A
v²/R
B
v/R
C
R/v
D
v²*R
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration is given by the formula v²/R, which is derived from the properties of uniform circular motion. This acceleration is always directed towards the center of the circular path.
