Question

In uniform circular motion the centrifugal force acts ______.

पर्याय

• towards the centre

• away from the centre

• along the tangential direction

Answer 1

In uniform circular motion the centrifugal force acts away from the centre.

Explanation:

In uniform circular motion, the centrifugal force is an apparent force that exerts an outward influence on a mass traversing a circular trajectory. It is essential to recognize that this force is not an actual force but a consequence of inertia. The force that maintains an item in circular motion is the centripetal force, directed towards the center of the circle.
