    Question

    A particle is moving along a circular path of radius r

    with constant speed. The acceleration of the particle is:
    A Zero Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B v2/r directed along the radius Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C v2/r tangential to the path Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Constant in magnitude and direction Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The particle experiences centripetal acceleration, which is directed toward the center of the circular path and has a magnitude of v² /r
