Question

For a particle in circular motion the centripetal acceleration should be

• A. Equal to tangential acceleration
• B. More than to is tangential acceleration
• C. Less than to its tangential acceleration
• D. May be more or less than its tangential acceleration

Answer 1

The correct option is D May be more or less than its tangential acceleration

Centripetal acceleration is must for circular motion, there is no relation between centripetal and tangential acceleration.
