b) Quadrupled
c) Halved
d) Unchanged
Explanation:
4. A body of mass m is moving in a circle of radius r with a constant speed v . The force on the body is \[\frac{mv^{2}}{r}\]
and is directed towards the centre. What is the work done by this force in moving the body over half the circumference of the circle
a) \[\frac{mv^{2}}{r}\times\pi r\]
b) Zero
c) \[\frac{mv^{2}}{r^{2}}\]
d) \[\frac{\pi r^{2}}{mv^{2}}\]

5. If a particle moves in a circle describing equal angles in equal times, its velocity vector
a) Remains constant
b) Changes in magnitude
c) Changes in direction
d) Changes both in magnitude and direction
Explanation: It is always directed in a direction of tangent to circle

a) Radially outward
b) Radially inward
c) Tangentially outward
d) With an acceleration \[\frac{mv^{2}}{l}\]
Explanation: Stone flies in the direction of instantaneous velocity due to inertia
7. A body is moving in a circular path with a constant speed. It has

9. A car moving on a horizontal road may be thrown out of the road in taking a turn
a) By the gravitational force
b) Due to lack of sufficient centripetal force
c) Due to rolling frictional force between tyre and road
d) Due to the reaction of the ground
Explanation: Due to lack of sufficient centripetal force
