When a body travels in a circular path and covers a distance equal to 1/4th of its circumference can we conclude that work done is zero?

A

yes

B

no

C

both (a) and (b)

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
As at any point on the circle the displacement is tangential to radius vector so work done is zero, also with respect to displacement work is done as there is a relative displacement from initial position to final position.
