velocity will change as direction will change...
so d is correct....
and net acceleration could be towards the centre when there is no tangential accn so a is also correct
and b is also true
but c is false
c has to be true......centripetal force is a no-work force......so KE is constant.
no aveek....c cant be correct...k.e will change....it wont be conserved....
look up vertical and horizontal circular motion for this...
@aveek
whatif tangential force if it exists? ?
KE wont be constant then...
i hope u gt my point

but in case of a horizontal circle...ke is const......it changes in a vertical circle......

aveek if the option was that k.e may be constant then it would be correct...but saying that k.e must be constant is altogether different thing......
b and d is correct,i think...wat is d correct answer eureka??
