A body is revolving with a constant speed along a circle. If its direction of motion is reversed but the speed remains the same, then which of the following statement is true
The centripetal force will not suffer any change in magnitude
The centripetal force will have its direction reversed
The centripetal force will not suffer any change in direction
Both $(a)$ and $(c)$
A body is revolving with a constant speed along a circle. If its direction of motion is reversed but the speed remains the same, then which of the following statement is true
Centripetal force = $\frac{{m{v^2}}}{r}$ and is directed always towards the centre of circle. Sense of rotation does not affect magnitude and direction of this centripetal force.
