Can the direction of velocity of an object reverse when its acceleration is constant ?
If so give an example, if not, explain why.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes. In case of a vertically projected body, while the body is moving up, the direction of velocity is upward, whereas while it is falling down, the direction of velocity is downward. Acceleration in both the cases is constant (numerically).
