A particle is moving in a curved path. Which of the following quantities may remain constant during its motion?

A

Acceleration

B

Velocity

C

Magnitude of acceleration

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
A particle moving in a curved path is experiencing an acceleration. Even if moving around the perimeter of a circle with a constant speed, there is still a change in velocity and subsequently an acceleration. This acceleration is directed towards the centre of the circle. The quantity which may remain constant here is magnitude of acceleration.
