MCQ
In circular motion, the centripetal acceleration is given by
  • A
    $\vec a\,\times \,\vec r$
  • $\vec \omega \,\times \,\vec v$
  • C
    $\vec a\,\times \,\vec v$
  • D
    $\vec \omega \,\times \,\vec r$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\vec \omega \,\times \,\vec v$
b
The centipetal acceleration is given by $\vec{\omega} \times \overrightarrow{ V }$

This term $\vec{\omega} \times \overrightarrow{ V }$ is centipetal acceleration.
