In which of the following situations can the velocity and acceleration vectors be perpendicular?
a. An object falling vertically
b. An object in uniform circular motion
c. An object in projectile motion

Answer:

b) an object in uniform circular motion.

Explanation:

In uniform circular motion, speed is constant and so, there is no tangential acceleration. It has only radical acceleration directed towards center and its velocity is always in tangential direction. So, in uniform circular motion, the velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular.
