Question

Physics Question on work, energy and power

Centripetal force does no work. Force and displacement are perpendicular to each other.

A

If both A and and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion

C

If Assertion is true but Reason is false

D

If Assertion is false but Reason is true

Answer

If both A and and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

Explanation

Solution

Since centripetal force is perpendicular to the displacement of the body, work done is zero as W=F.d=FdcosθW = \vec{F}.\vec{d} = Fd \,\cos\theta
