A particle is acted upon by a force of constant magnitude which is always perpendicular to the velocity of the particle, the motion of the particle takes place in a plane. It follows that

A

It's velocity is constant

B

It's acceleration is constant

C

It's kinetic energy is constant

D

It moves in a straight line

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
What a force of constant magnatude which is perpendicular to the velocity of partical , work done is zero and hence charge in kinetic energy is zero.
