Which of the following quantities must change during the motion of an object along a curved path? (i) Velocity (ii) Speed (iii) Acceleration (iv) Direction of velocity

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

On a curved path the direction of velocity must change continuously, so the velocity itself must change.
Speed can stay constant (uniform circular motion) and acceleration can stay constant (projectile motion), so only (i) and (iv) must change.
