Does a body have acceleration in the following situations?
Why?
1,a body travelling along a straight line with uniform velocity
2,a body travelling along a straight line with non-uniform velocity
3,a body travelling along a circular path with uniform speed
4,a body travelling along a circular path with non-uniform Speed
Answers
ANSWER WITH EXPLANATION:-
The rate of change of velocity is acceleration.
1.)A body travelling along a straight line with uniform velocity will have zero acceleration becoz the object covers equal displacements in equal amounts of time without changing its direction.
2.)A body travelling along a straight line with non uniform velocity will have acceleration becoz the object covers unequal displacements in equal intervals of time.
3.)When an object moves along a circular path,its direction of motion keeps changing continuously.The velocity changes due to continuous change of direction and thus the motion along a circular path is said to accelerated.
4.)A body travelling along a circular path with non uniform speed will have acceleration.

Answer:
1. Yes
2. No
3. Yes
4. Yes
Explanation:
Acceleration is defines as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
1. A body travelling along a straight line with uniform velocity: In this case, there is no acceleration as the object covers equal displacements in equal amounts of time and direction is not changing at all.
2. A body travelling along a straight line with non-uniform velocity: Here, body will have acceleration as the object covers unequal displacements in equal intervals of time.
3. A body travelling along a circular path with uniform speed: Acceleration is produced as object moves along a circular path, its direction of motion keeps changing continuously. The velocity changes due to continuous change of direction is produced and hence the motion is said to accelerated along a circular path.
4. A body travelling along a circular path with non-uniform Speed: body travelling along a circular path with non uniform speed will have acceleration.
