Can there be any change in direction of the velocity of a body moving under a constant acceleration?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Direction of velocity of a body may change even if the body has a constant acceleration. In projectile motion, the path changes at every point with the change in direction of the velocity. But at every point its acceleration is the acceleration due to gravity and hence, is a constant.
