Which of the following statements is not correct in uniform circular motion?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
In uniform circular motion speed and angular speed remains constant. Centripetal acceleration
acts towards the center (center seeking) because centripetal force acts towards the center but velocity does not remains constant because direction is continuously changing.
