If a force is acting on a moving body in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion what will be its effect on speed and direction of the body ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To analyze the effect of a force acting on a moving body in a direction perpendicular to its motion, we can break down the situation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Scenario**: - Consider a body moving in a straight line with an initial velocity. Let’s denote the velocity vector of the body as \( \vec{v} \) and the force acting on it as \( \vec{F} \), which is perpendicular to \( \vec{v} \). 2. **Direction of Force**: ...
