Question

44. Assertion : An object may acquire acceleration even if it is moving at a constant speed. Reason: With change in the direction of motion, an object can acquire acceleration. a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A). b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A). c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false. d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true​

Answer 1

When an object is moving at a constant speed but its direction of motion changes, its velocity changes and thus acceleration is produced.
