SSC Selection Post (Phase XIV) 2025 · Question 129 of 284
syllogism
The correct answer is (C) The car experiences centripetal acceleration towards the centre. Explanation: • Even if the speed is uniform, the direction of velocity changes at every point in circular motion. • A change in velocity (direction) means the object is accelerating. This acceleration is directed towards the center of the circle and is called centripetal acceleration. Information Booster: • The magnitude of centripetal acceleration is given by a = v²/r. Additional Knowledge: • Option A is wrong because speed is a scalar, but velocity is a vector; change in direction means acceleration is not zero.
