Question

Which of the following statements is incorrect for uniform circular motion?​

• A. Acceleration is towards the centre of circular path.​
• B. It is non-accelerated motion.​
• C. Magnitude of centripetal force decreases as the radius of circular path increases.​
• D. Direction of velocity is along the tangent of circular path.​

Answer 1

The correct option is B It is non-accelerated motion.​

In uniform circular motion, velocity is continuously changing as the direction of motion is changing. Hence, it is an accelerated motion, where acceleration is towards the centre of the circular path.​
