Assertion: If the speed of a body is constant, the body cannot have path other than a circular or straight line path.
Reason: It is not possible for a body to have a constant speed in an accelerated motion.

A

If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a true explanation of the assertion.

B

If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not true the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If the assertion is true but reason false

D

If both the assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

If the speed of body is constant, all curved paths are possible.
In uniform circular motion a body has constant speed, but its direction keeps on changing, due to which it has non-zero acceleration.
