Which of the following quantities may remain constant during the motion of an object along a curved path? (i) Velocity (ii) Speed (iii) Acceleration (iv) Magnitude of acceleration
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
In uniform circular motion (a curved path) the speed remains constant; in projectile motion (also a curved path) the acceleration remains constant, and with it the magnitude of acceleration. The velocity can never remain constant on a curved path because its direction must change. Hence (ii), (iii) and (iv).
