$A$ particle is moving in $U.C.M.$ with speed $V$ and radius $R$. The angular acceleration of the particle is

  • A
    $V^2/R$ perpendicular to the plane of the circle.
  • B
    $V^2/R$ along the tangent to the circle.
  • C
    $V^2/R$ along the radius towards the centre of the circle.
  • D
    zero.

Can a moving object have a constant speed but a changing velocity?

Two cars $A$ and $B$ are moving along concentric circular paths of radii $R_A$ and $R_B$. If both cars complete their respective circular paths in the same time,what is the ratio of the angular speed of $A$ to that of $B$?

The figure shows a small wheel fixed coaxially on a bigger one of double the radius. The system rotates about the common axis. The strings supporting $A$ and $B$ do not slip on the wheels. If $x$ and $y$ are the distances travelled by $A$ and $B$ in the same time interval,then
