Can a body move on a curved path without having acceleration ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No. It is so because while moving on a curved path, the velocity of the body (which is represented by tangent to the curved path at a point) changes with time. Hence the body is in accelerated state.

Can a body move on a crved path without having acceleration ?

Assertion : In a uniform circular motion, the linear speed and angular speed of the body are constant. Reason : A body can move on a circular path without having acceleration.

In the following questions a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason ( R). A: When a body moves on a curved path with increasing speed then angle between instantaneous velocity and acceleration is acute angle. R: When the speed is increasing its tangential acceleration is in the direction of instaneous velocity .

(a) Is it possible to be accelerating if you are travelling at constant speed? (b) Is it possible to move on a curved path with zero acceleration, constant acceleration, variable acceleration

A : For a particle moving in a straight line, its acceleration must be either parallel or antiparallel to velocity. R : A body moving along a curved path may have constant acceleration.
