Physics Two Dimensional Motion Question 258

Question: A particle moves with constant angular velocity in a circle. During the motion its

Options:

A) Energy is conserved

B) Momentum is conserved

C) Energy and momentum both are conserved

D) None of the above is conserved

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

In uniform circular motion (constant angular velocity) kinetic energy remains constant but due to change in velocity of particle its momentum varies.
