Physics · MOTION IN A PLANE

हिन्दी

Given below are two statements: Statement I: In projectile motion, the horizontal component of velocity remains constant throughout the motion in the absence of air resistance. Statement II: In uniform circular motion, the centripetal acceleration vector remains constant in both magnitude and direction. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. A
    Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
  2. B
    Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
  3. C
    Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
  4. D
    Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
View Answer & Solution

Correct answer · Option C

Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.

Explanation

Statement I is correct because horizontal acceleration is zero (\( a_x = 0 \)). Statement II is incorrect because although magnitude \( a_c = v^2/R \) is constant, its direction continuously changes towards the center.
