A car moves on a circular road. It describes equal angles about the centre in equal intervals of time. Which of the following statement about the velocity of the car is true

A

Velocity is constant

B

Magnitude of velocity is constant but the direction changes.

C

Both magnitude and direction of velocity change.

D

Velocity is directed towards the center of circle.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C, D
(a.,c.,d.) Angular speed is constant. Hence linear speed is also constant, i.e., magnitude of velocity is constant, but direction is changing.
