A body is moving along a circle with an increasing speed. It possesses?

A. centripetal acceleration only (ac)

B. tangential acceleration only (ar)

C. both tangential and centripetal acceleration (ar and ac)

D. No acceleration

Justify your answer

Dear Student,

A body performing circular motion always has centripetal acceleration[acceleration responsible for change in direction].
Here, speed of body is also increasing so it has tangential acceleration too[acceleration responsible for increasing speed].

Option C is correct.
