Question

An object moving in a certain direction with an acceleration in the perpendicular direction is this situation possible

Answer 1

yes it is possible in circular motion

Explanation:

Object moving in a certain direction with an acceleration in perpendicular direction is possible .

in case of circular motion. When an object moves on a circular path, its direction is along the tangent of the circle but the centripetal acceleration is towards the radius of the circle.

We know, that a tangent always makes a right angle with the radius; so when an object is in circular motion, the acceleration and velocity are in mutually perpendicular direction .
