Question

The force required to keep a body in uniform circular motion is

• A. centripetal force.
• B. centrifugal force.
• C. resistance.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A centripetal force.

As we know that there exists only centripetal acceleration in uniform circular motion as because of constant speed, tangetial acceleration ceases to zero. Hence, the force required to keep a body in uniform circular motion is centripetal force.
