Statement I: The centripetal acceleration in circular motion is dependent on angular velocity of
the body.
Statement II: When a particle moves in a circle with a uniform speed, its magnitude of velocity and acceleration both changes.
In the the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
In uniform circular motion, the magnitude of velocity and acceleration remains same, but due to change in direction of motion, the direction of velocity and acceleration changes. Also the centripetal acceleration is given by
