उत्तर
a, b and c
Explanation:
For a particle performing uniform circular motion.
- Speed will be constant throughout.
- Velocity will be tangential in the direction of motion at a particular point.
- Acceleration `a = v^2/r` will always be towards centre of the circular path.
- Angular momentum (mvr) is constant in magnitude and direction/out of the plane perpendicularly as well.
