Answer:

2. The velocity of the particle is tangent to the circle

Explanation:

1. The velocity of the particle is constant.

Incorrect

Reason : Since the tangential speed is not constant, hence the velocity of the particle is not constant.

2. The velocity of the particle is tangent to the circle.

Correct

Reason : In circular motion, the direction of velocity is always given by the tangent to the circle.

3. The acceleration of the particle is constant.

Incorrect

Reason : The tangential speed of the particle is not constant which in turn keeps changing the centripetal acceleration of the particle. hence the acceleration of the particle is not constant.

4. The acceleration of the particle is toward the center of circle.

Incorrect.

If there are two photons with different energies, the one that has a higher energy (a) has the higher frequency (b) has the high
kozerog [31]

Answer:

(a) has the highest frequency

Explanation:

E = hf...where E(is the energy of a photon);h(is the planck's constant) and f is the frequency of the photon

Whereby this formula shows us that energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency

So hence if the energy is high then the frequency of the photon is also high

What is the principle of potentiometer?​
kupik [55]

Answer:

The principle of a potentiometer is that the potential dropped across a segment of a wire of uniform cross-section carrying a constant current is directly proportional to its length. The potentiometer is a simple device used to measure the electrical potentials (or compare the e.m.f of a cell).
