Question

can there be an accelerated motion with a constant speed?if yes explain your answer

Answer 1

As speed is a scalar quantity, direction of movement doesn’t affect it. But acceleration is a vector quantity as it is the rate of change of velocity which is itself a vector quantity.

So, take uniform circular motion as example,



It’s speed is constant but it has varying velocity as it changes it’s direction so there is always a acceleration acting towards centre which is provided by centripetal force. HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL PLEASE LIKE AND MARK BRAINLIEST.

Answer 2

HI

HERE IZ UR ANSWER.

Yes, there can accelerated motion with a constant speed.

Acceleration is change in velocity of the object and speed is the magnitude only but velocity includes both speed with change in direction and is a vector quantity

So, if a object is with same speed but is changing its direction at every point, then it is in accelerated motion.
For example - a object in a circular motion.
