Which of the following statements is false?a.For every force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.b.An externally applied force is needed to change the direction of a moving object.c.Centripetal acceleration acts towards the centre of the circle of motion.d.A body travelling at a constant velocity in a circle has no acceleration.

Solution

The false statement is d. "A body travelling at a constant velocity in a circle has no acceleration." This is false because even if the speed of the object remains constant, the direction of the velocity is continuously changing when moving in a circle. This change in direction of velocity implies an acceleration, known as centripetal acceleration.
