When a body moves with a constant speed along a circle
Options
- Ano acceleration is produced on the body
- Bno work is done on it
- Cits velocity remains constant
- Dno force acts on the body
Correct answer
B. no work is done on it
Step-by-step solution
When a body moves with constant speed v along a circle, it has a centripetal acceleration but no linear acceleration. The centripetal force F acting on the body is at right angle to the displacement s. Since, aligned W & =F s=F s & =0 ( 90^ =0 ) aligned Hence, no work is done on it.
