Q.

A particle is executing uniform circular motion with velocity v and acceleration a. Which of the following is true        [2023]
 

1 vis a constant; a is not a constant  
2 v is not a constant; a is not a constant  
3 v is a constant; a is a constant  
4 v is not a constant; a is a constant  

Ans.

(2)

Direction of velocity is changing so it is not a constant and centripetal acceleration changes continuously as v is not constant and therefore a is also not constant.
