NEET Physics Question - Circular Motion

Assertion (A): In uniform circular motion of a particle, sum of power delivered to it by all the forces acting on the particle is zero.

Reason (R): In uniform circular motion dot product of two perpendicular vectors, force and velocity is always zero.

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

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

(3) (A) is true but (R) is false

(4) Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

In UCM, net force is perpendicular to velocity, so power \(P = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{v} = Fv \cos{90^{\circ}}\) is zero. Thus, (A) is true. Reason (R) correctly states that the dot product of perpendicular vectors is zero, which explains (A).
