Question

What is a radius vector in circular motion?

✓

Answer

For a particle performing circular motion, its position vector with respect to the centre of the circle is called the radius vector.
[Note : The radius vector has a constant magnitude, equal to the radius of the circle. However, its direction changes as the position of the particle changes along the circumference.]
