A particle moves in a plane with constant acceleration in a direction different from the initial velocity. The path of the particle will be

A

straight line

B

arc of a circle

C

parabola

D

ellipse

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Only in case of parabolic motion, the direction and magnitude of the velocity changes, acceleration remains same. Morever, in case of uniform circular motion, the direction changes.
