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 of the given uniform circular motion

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

For a particle performing a S.H.M the change in velocity is zero during one completed revolution .
` therefore ` Average acceleration `=(dv ) /(dt)=0`
`therefore ` The average acceleration vector is a null vector .
