In uniform circular motion, what is true about the net force acting on the object?
The net force in uniform circular motion is the ntripetal force, directed towards the nter of the circle. It provides the ntripetal acceleration necessary to maintain the circular path and is perpendicular to the velocity.
Ref: NCERT Physics Textbook for Class XI and XII, Chapter: Laws of Motion and Motion in a Plane, Topic: Uniform circular motion, centripetal force, direction of net force towards center. The section explains definitions, governing laws, formulas like μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ T·m/A, units and illustrative examples.
