The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements (A) and (R) regarding circular motion. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement (A) Statement (A) claims that when a particle moves in a circle with uniform speed, its velocity and acceleration both change. - **Explanation**: - In circular motion, even if the speed (magnitude of velocity) is constant, the direction of the velocity vector is continuously changing. - Since velocity is a vector quantity (having both magnitude and direction), a change in direction means that the velocity is changing. - Similarly, the acceleration in circular motion (centripetal acceleration) is directed towards the center of the circle and also changes direction as the particle moves along the circular path. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement (R) Statement (R) states that the centripetal acceleration in circular motion is dependent on the angular velocity of the body. - **Explanation**: - The formula for centripetal acceleration (Ac) is given by \( A_c = r \omega^2 \), where \( r \) is the radius of the circular path and \( \omega \) is the angular velocity. - This shows that centripetal acceleration indeed depends on the angular velocity of the body. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between (A) and (R) Now we need to evaluate whether (R) provides a correct explanation for (A). - **Evaluation**: - While both statements are true, (R) does not adequately explain why the velocity and acceleration change in (A). - The change in velocity and acceleration in circular motion is primarily due to the change in direction, not directly because of the dependence on angular velocity. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - Statement (A) is true. - Statement (R) is true but does not explain (A). - Therefore, the correct answer is that both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A. ### Final Answer Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A. ---
