Question

A particle moving on a circular path with constant speed then its acceleration will be: (A) Zero (B) External radial acceleration (C) Internal radial acceleration (D) Constant acceleration

In uniform circular motion, acceleration is produce due to change in direction, and in circular motion direction continues changes. Acceleration is internally radial due to centripetal acceleration because centripetal force act towards centre.

External radial acceleration

Internal radial acceleration

Constant acceleration

In uniform circular motion, acceleration is produce due to change in direction, and in circular motion direction continues changes. Acceleration is internally radial due to centripetal acceleration because centripetal force act towards centre.
