(e) None of the above/More than one of the above B.P.S.C. CDPO (Pre) 2018
For a body moving with constant speed in a horizontal circle, which of the following remains constant?
aVelocity
bAcceleration
cCentripetal force
dKinetic energy✓ Correct
eNone of the above/More than one of the above B.P.S.C. CDPO (Pre) 2018
Explanation
When a body is moving with uniform speed in a horizontal circle, its kinetic energy ($$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$$) remains constant. When a body moves in a horizontal circle, only the direction of velocity, acceleration, and force keeps changing continuously at every instant, but there is no change in their magnitudes. The capacity of an object to do work due to its motion is called its kinetic energy.
