A particle is moving in a uniform circular motion with constant speed v along a circle of radius r. The acceleration of the particle is?
Answer: V^2/R
Explanation
The acceleration of a particle moving in a uniform circular motion is directed towards the center of the circle and is given by:
a = v^2 / r
This is known as centripetal acceleration.
