A car moves on a circular road. It describes equal angles about the centre in equal intervals of time. Which of the following statement about the velocity of the car is true

A

Magnitude of velocity is not constant

B

Both magnitude and direction of velocity change

C

Velocity is directed towards the centre of the circle

D

Magnitude of velocity is constant but direction changes

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
As body covers equal angle in equal time intervals, its angular velocity and magnitude of linear velocity is constant.
