Question
A particle moving with uniform speed in a circular path maintains:
Options
A.Constant velocity but varying acceleration
B.Varying velocity and varying acceleration
C.Constant velocity
D.Constant acceleration
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Uniform circular motion — constant speed, varying velocity]
A particle moving with uniform speed in a circular path maintains varying velocity and varying acceleration. It is because direction of both velocity as well as acceleration will change continuously.
