As per your syllabus, the centripetal acceleration of a particle in UCM depends linearly on which of these quantities?
AMagnitude of velocity squared only
BFrequency ν only
CRadius R (a_c = ω²R)
DPeriod T
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Radius R (a_c = ω²R)
Your syllabus: a_c = ω²R is linear in R (and quadratic in ω, ν, or v).
