If the force is always perpendicular to motion, then KE remains constant

A

KE remains constant

B

Work done is zero

C

velocity is constant

D

speed is constant

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, D

Here, `theta=90^(@), W=Fs cos theta=Fs cos 90^(@)=0`
So work done is zero.
In uniform circulart motion, speed is always a constant but velocity changes as direction changes.
If speed is constant, then `KE` is also constant.
