alleryStart learning →During a non-uniform circular motion, the radial (centripetal) acceleration is
Aabsent altogether
Bexactly equal to zero
Cconstant in magnitude
Dpresent, but not constant
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. present, but not constant
Velocity is still tangential and changes direction, so radial acceleration exists, but its magnitude varies with speed.
