In case of circular motion a body, if tangential force also acts on the body in addition to centripetal force, then work done:

A

by tangenitial force is zero by work done by centripetal force is not zero.

B

by tangenitial force is zero but work done by tangential force is not zero.

C

by both the forces is positive

D

by both the forces is zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Since there is no displacement along radius vector hence work done is zero by contripetal force, but for tangential force there is displacement `= 2 pi R`, so work done is not zero.

Assertion : In circular motion work done by all the forces acting on the body is zero. Reason : Centripetal force and velocity are mutually perpendicular.

Assertion : If both the speed of a body and radius of its circular path are doubled, then centripetal force also gets doubled. Reason : Centripetal force is directly proportional to both speed of a body and radius of circular path.

Why is the work done by a centripetal force equal to zero?

A body is moving along a circular path. How much work is done by the centripetal force?

Centripetal force is provided by the real forces acting on the body in motion.

To move a body along a circular path the direction of centripetal force will be
