Answer:

Towards the center of circle, which changes the direction of motion but not speed

Explanation:

The force acting on an object when it is moving in circular path is called centripetal force. The formula for centripetal force is given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

Where

m = mass

v = velocity

r = radius of circle

In a circular path, the velocity of object changes continuously while its speed remains constant. The centripetal force acts towards the center of circle. Hence, the correct option is (a) " towards the center of circle, which changes the direction of motion but not speed ".

A nuclear power plant doesn't produce any of those things. It only produces electricity and heat. As long as there are no accidents, and the worn out nuclear fuel is handled properly, the nuclear plant isn't harmful to the environment at all.
