Is the tangential acceleration of a particle moving in a circular path always zero? Under what condition is it zero?

  • A
    Yes,it is always zero.
  • B
    No,it is zero only when the angular speed is constant.
  • C
    No,it is zero only when the radius is constant.
  • D
    No,it is zero only when the centripetal acceleration is zero.
