A body moves in a circle with constant angular velocity. Which statement about its accelerations is correct?

Correct answer B. Angular acceleration is zero but centripetal acceleration is not

Explanation

Constant ω means α = 0 and so no tangential acceleration. The direction of velocity still changes, requiring a centripetal acceleration rω² towards the centre.
