A particle is in uniform circular motion, related to one complete revolution of the particle, which among the statements is incorrect?

  1. A Average acceleration of the particle is zero.
  2. B Displacement of the particle is zero.
  3. C Average speed of the particle is zero.
  4. D Average velocity of the particle is zero.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Average speed of the particle is zero.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, distance travelled by the body is not
zero in one complete revolution, hence average speed is not zero.

In a circular motion, the displacement of the particle is zero, if it completes one revolution.
Therefore average velocity which is ratio of total displacement to the total time taken is also zero.
