Assertion : A uniform circular motion is...

Assertion : A uniform circular motion is an accelerated motion.
Reason : Direction of acceleration is parallel to be velocity vector.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Direction of acceleration continuously changes. In uniform circular motion, acceleration always acts towards the centre. Therefore, assertion is false but reason is true.
