Which of the following statements is FALSE for a particle moving in a circle with a constant angular speed ?

Answer»

The velocity vector is tangent to the circle
The acceleration vector is tangent to the circle
The acceleration vector points to the centre of the circle
The velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other

Solution :As the PARTICLE is MOVING with constant angular velocity the tangential COMPONENT of acceleration is ZERO.
Therefore only radial component `VEC(a_(c))` is effective.
