To solve this problem, let's first understand what is being asked. The question concerns an object undergoing uniform circular motion and the work done by the centripetal force over one complete circle.
In uniform circular motion, the object moves in a circle with a constant speed, although its velocity vector changes direction at every point along the path. The force that keeps the object moving in a circular path is the centripetal force, which always acts towards the center of the circle.
The key concept to address this question is the work done by a force. The formula for work done when a force \(F\) displaces an object through distance \(d\) at an angle \(\theta\) to the force is:
\(W = F \cdot d \cdot \cos\theta\)
For uniform circular motion:
Since \(\cos 90^\circ = 0\), the work done \(W\) by the centripetal force is:
\(W = F \cdot d \cdot \cos 90^\circ = 0\)
Thus, the work done by the centripetal force over a full circle is zero.
Let us analyze the given options:
Therefore, the correct answer is 'Zero'.
