Physics Laws of Motion JEE Main 2004

Which of the following statements is false for a particle moving in a circle with a constant angular speed?

(1)The velocity vector is tangent to the circle.
(2)The acceleration vector is tangent to the circle.Correct
(3)The acceleration vector points to the centre of the circle.
(4)The velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other.

Answer: (2)

Solution

In uniform circular motion the velocity is tangential (1 true) and the only acceleration is centripetal, , directed towards the centre (3 true), so velocity and
