Read the statement below carefully and state, with reasons, if it is true or false:
A.
The velocity vector of a particle at a point is always along the tangent to the path of the particle at that pointTips: -
Because while leaving the circular path, the particle moves tangentially to the circular path.A.
(a) The net acceleration of a particle in circular motion is always along the radius of
the circle towards the centre
Tips: -
The net acceleration of a particle is towards the centre only in case of a uniform circular motion.Read the statement below carefully and state, with reasons, if it is true or false:
A.
The acceleration vector of a particle in uniform circular motion averaged over one cycle is a null vectorTips: -
The direction of acceleration vector in a uniform circular motion is directed towards the centre of circular path. It is constantly changing with time. The resultant of all these vectors will be zero vector.
