NEET2001PhysicsMotion in Two DimensionsActual
Assertion : Centripetal force does no work. Reason : Force and displacement are perpendicular to each other.
Options
- AIf both A 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 A 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= F d =F d
