(A) : If a body moving in a circular path with constant speed, then no force acts on it. (R ) : The direction of the velocity vector of a body moving in a circular path is changing

A : The direction of velocity of an object can be reversed with constant acceleration. R : A ball projected upward reverse its direction under the effect of gravity.

Velocity does not change when direction changes.

(A):Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity . (R ):A body having nonzero acceleration can have a constant velocity.

Assertion : Acceleration of a moving particle can change its direction without any change in direction of velocity. Reason : If the direction of change in velocity vector changes, the direction of acceleration vector also changes.

Assertion : Acceleration of a moving particle can change its direction without any change in direction of velocity. Reason : If the direction of change in velocity vector changes, the direction of acceleration vector also changes.

Assertion : The accelerated motion of an object may be due to change in magnitude of velocity or direction of velocity or both. Reason : Acceleration can be produed only by change in the magnitude of the velocity.

(Assertion) :A body may be accelerated even when it is moving at uniform speed. (Reason) : When direction of motion of the body is changing then body may have acceleration.

(A):A body may be accelerated even when it is moving at uniform speed. (R ):When direction of motion of the body is changing then body may have acceleration.

Both the magnitude and the direction of the acceleration of a body are constant. Will the path of body be necessarily a straight line ?
