Central Force and Velocity
A particle moving in a plane is subject to a central force given by F = -kr, where k is a positive constant and r is the position vector. The velocity of the particle changes because:
A
The total mechanical energy of the system increases
B
The angular momentum of the particle is not conserved
C
The force has a component parallel to the motion
D
The force always acts perpendicular to the velocity
