Assertion : Centripetal force does no work.
Reason : Force and displacement are perpendicular to each other.
Options
- AIf both and and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
- BIf both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
- CIf Assertion is true but Reason is false.
- DIf Assertion is false but Reason is true.
Correct answer
A. If both and and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Step-by-step solution
Since centripetal force is perpendicular to the displacement of the body, work done is zero as
W=\vec{F} \cdot \vec{d}=F d \cos \theta
