Question

If \( p \) is the magnitude of linear momentum of a particle executing a uniform circular motion, then the ratio of centripetal force acting on the particle to its linear momentum is given by:

• A. \(v/r\).
• B. \(r/v\).
• C. \(v^2/r\).
• D. \(r/v^2\).

Hint:

In uniform circular motion, the centripetal force is proportional to \( v^2/r \), while the ratio to linear momentum simplifies to \( v/r \).
