MCQ
When a particle moves in a uniform circular motion. It has
  • A
    Radial velocity and radial acceleration
  • Tangential velocity and radial acceleration
  • C
    Tangential velocity and tangential acceleration
  • D
    Radial velocity and tangential acceleration

Answer

Correct option: B.
Tangential velocity and radial acceleration
b
An object moving in a circle is accelerating. Accelerating objects are objects which are changing their velocity - either the speed (i.e., magnitude of the velocity vector) or the direction. An object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed.
