For a particle performing uniform circular motion, choose the correct statement (s) from the following.

A

Magnitude of particle velocity (speed) remains constant

B

Particle velocity remains directed perpendicular to radius vector

C

direction of acceleration keeps changing as particle moves

D

Tangential acceleration of the particle is non zero.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C

For a particle performing uniform circular motion.
(i) speed will be constant throughout.
(ii) veclocity will be tangential in the direction of motion at a particular point.
(iii) acceleration`a=(v^2)/(r )` will always be towards centre of the circular path
(iv) Speed is constant, hence tangential acceleration is zero.
