NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
Which of the following statements about the motion of a bob in a circular path and potential energy is correct?
A
If the string attached to the bob is cut while moving horizontally, it will enter projectile motion.
B
The kinetic energy of the bob only depends on the height from which it is released.
C
The bob will continue its circular path indefinitely if the string is not cut.
D
The potential energy of the bob increases as it moves to higher points in its circular path.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
When the string is cut at point C, the bob, having horizontal velocity, will execute projectile motion, as indicated in the context. The kinetic energy does not solely depend on height, and the bob cannot maintain circular motion without the string.
