The angle between velocity and acceleration of a particle describing uniform circular motion is
- A \( 45^{\circ} \)
- B \( 60^{\circ} \)
- C \( 90^{\circ} \)
- D \( 180^{\circ} \)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \( 90^{\circ} \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
As the lift is freely falling, thus its acceleration in down ward direction \(\mathrm{a}=\mathrm{g}\)
Let the mass of the body be \(m\) and force acting on it due to spring be \(F\).
Writing equation of motion for the body: \(m a=m g-F\)
Or \(\mathrm{mg}=\mathrm{mg}-\mathrm{F}\)
\(\Longrightarrow \mathrm{F}=0\)
Thus no force is acting on the body due to spring, so the reading of the spring balance is zero.
