Read Each Statement Below Carefully and State, With Reasons, If It is True Or False: the Velocity Vector of a Particle at a Point is Always Along the Tangent to the Path of the Particle at that Point - Physics

Read each statement below carefully and state, with reasons, if it is true or false:

The velocity vector of a particle at a point is always along the tangent to the path of the particle at that point

Solution

True

At a point on a circular path, a particle appears to move tangentially to the circular path. Hence, the velocity vector of the particle is always along the tangent at a point.
