MCQ
For a particle in circular motion the centripetal acceleration is
  • A
    Less than its tangential acceleration
  • B
    Equal to its tangential acceleration
  • C
    More than its tangential acceleration
  • May be more or less than its tangential acceleration

Answer

Correct option: D.
May be more or less than its tangential acceleration
d
(d)There is no relation between centripetal and tangential acceleration. Centripetal acceleration is must for circular motion but tangential acceleration may be zero.

A glass full of hot milk is poured on the table. It begins to cool gradually. Which of the following is correct?
  1. The rate of cooling is constant till milk attains the temperature of the surrounding.
  2. The temperature of milk falls off exponentially with time.
  3. While cooling, there is a flow of heat from milk to the surrounding as well as from surrounding to the milk but the net flow of heat is from milk to the surounding and that is why it cools.
  4. All three phenomenon, conduction, convection and radiation are responsible for the loss of heat from milk to the surroundings.
