In a uniform circular motion, the direction of velocity at any point is _____.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D along the tangent
Uniform circular motion is described as the motion of an object in a circle at a constant speed. As an object moves in a circle, it is constantly changing its direction. At all instances, the object is moving tangent to the circle. Since the direction of the velocity is the same as the direction of the object's motion, the velocity is directed tangent to the circle as well.
