Q. The angle between velocity and acceleration of a particle describing uniform circular motion is

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

When an object follows a circular path at a constant speed, the motion of object is called uniform circular motion.
Although the speed does not vary the particle is accelerating because the velocity changes its direction at every point on circular track.
Solution
The acceleration is centripetal, which is perpendicular to motion at every point and acts along the radius and directed towards the centre of the curved circular path.
