The average acceleration vector for a pa...

The average acceleration vector for a particle having a uniform circular motion is

A

a constant vector of magnitude `v^(2)//r`

B

a vector of magnitude`v^(2)//r` directed normal to the plane

C

equal to the instantaneous acceleration vector at the start of the motion

D

a null vector

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

In complete revolution change in velocity becomes zero. Hence, average acceleration is zero .
