Velocity vector and acceleration vector in a uniform circular motion are related as

Question

Velocity vector and acceleration vector in a uniform circular motion are related as (A) both in the same direction (B) perpendicular to each other (C) both in opposite direction (D) not related to each other

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In a uniform circular motion, the acceleration is directed towards the centre while velocity is acting tangentially. Therefore, velocity vector is perpendicular to acceleration vector.

Q. Velocity vector and acceleration vector in a uniform circular motion are related as

both in the same direction

perpendicular to each other

both in opposite direction

not related to each other

In a uniform circular motion, the acceleration is directed towards the centre while velocity is acting tangentially. Therefore, velocity vector is perpendicular to acceleration vector.
