A motor vechicle is moving on a circle with a uniform speed. The net acceleration of the vehicle is

A

zero

B

towards the centre of circle

C

away from the centre along the radius of the circle

D

perpendicular to the radius and along the velocity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Acceleration acting on the obiect undergoing uniform circular motion is called centripetal acceleration
`a_(c)=(v^(2))/(r )`
A particle moving in a circle require centripetal force This is always towards the centre.
