Q. For a particle to move in a circular orbit uniformly, centripetal force is required which infact depends upon mass (m), velocity (v), and radius (r) of the circle. Express centripetal force in terms of these quantities.

Q. Assertion (A) : No work is done by the centripetal force acting on a body moving along the circumference of a circle.
Reason (R) : At any instant, the motion of the body is along the tangent to the circle whereas the centripetal force is along the radius vector towards the centre of the circle.
