Question

For a particle moving along a curved path, velocity is directed​

Answer 1

Answer:

along the tangent. . . . . .

Answer 2

For a particle in curved path, the velocity is directed along the tangent at a particular point.

• First of all, velocity is a vector quantity characterized by both magnitude and direction.

• So, for linear motions, the velocity vector is usually directed at 0° or 180° with respect to the displacement vector.

• However , for non-linear or curved path, the direction of the along the tangent at the particular point on the trajectory.

• Now, refer to the diagram of the curved trajectory through which the body moves.
