NEET Physics Question - Circular Motion - Kinematics of Circular Motion

Assertion (A): The equation of motion can be applied only if the acceleration is along the direction of velocity and is constant.

Reason (R): In circular motion, if velocity is constant then its motion is called uniform circular motion.

Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Assertion (A) is false; kinematic equations apply for constant acceleration (vector), not necessarily along velocity. Reason (R) is false; if velocity (vector) is constant, it's rectilinear motion, not circular motion. In uniform circular motion, *speed* is constant, but velocity changes direction.
