A particle moves in a plane with uniform acceleration having direction different form that of the instantaneous velocity. What is the nature of trajectroy?

A

straight line

B

parabola

C

Circle

D

Ellipse

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
It is only in case of parabolic motion that the direction and magnitude of the acceleration remains same. In uniform circular motion, though magnitude of acceleration remains constant but direction changes from moment to moment.
