Question

For a particle in a non-uniform accelerated circular motion:

• A. velocity is radial and acceleration is transverse
• B. velocity is transverse and acceleration is radial only
• C. velocity is radial and acceleration has both radial and transverse components
• D. velocity is transverse and acceleration has both radial and transverse components

Answer 1

The correct option is D velocity is transverse and acceleration has both radial and transverse components

Since the acceleration is non-uniform, acceleration has radial component due to centripetal force, as well as a transverse component. While the velocity has a transverse component only whose magnitude is not constant.
