Kinematics Question 567
Question: For a particle in circular motion the centripetal acceleration is
Options:
A) Less than it’s tangential acceleration
B) Equal to it’s tangential acceleration
C) More than it’s tangential acceleration
D) May be more or less than it’s tangential acceleration
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
There is no relation between centripetal and tangential acceleration. Centripetalacceleration is must for circular motion but tangential acceleration may be zero.
