You whirl a stone in a horizontal circle in such a way that the stone is in uniform circular motion. Which of the following is true for this situation? (Select all that apply.)

a. The direction of the stone's velocity changes as it moves around the circle.

b. The magnitude of the stone's velocity does not change.

c. The stone's speed is constant.

d. The change in direction of the stone's motion is due to the centripetal force acting on the stone.

e. The stone is moving with constant velocity.

a. The direction of the stone's velocity changes as it moves around the circle.

b. The magnitude of the stone's velocity does not change.

d. The change in direction of the stone's motion is due to the centripetal force acting on the stone.

Above given are true for the given situation.

Answer: Option A, B and D

Explanation:

Circular motion may be characterized as the moving of an objects along the diameter of the circle or any circular direction. It may be standardized and non-uniform based on whether or not the rate of rotation is unchanged.

The velocity, a vector quantity is constant in a uniform circle motion speed is constant as its direction continues to change. Centripetal force works inward toward the core to counterbalance the centrifugal force from the center moving outward.
