Question

Suggest a situation in which an object is accelerated and have constant speed.

Answer 1

Answer:

A body moving in a uniform circular motion

Explanation:

An example of this will be uniform circular motion. In a uniform circular motion the speed is constant and yet an acceleration is acting on it in the direction of the centre of the circular path.

Velocity is a vector quantity. It has both direction and magnitude. If the magnitude of the velocity is constant but its direction changes, a body will have constant speed but it will also have an acceleration due to change in direction.

Answer 2

The situation where an object moves in an uniform circular type of motion will have constant speed while it accelerates.

OTHER POINTS -

1. During this type of motion, the acceleration's direction is inwards.

2. They will have constant speed which will not change with time.

3. Example of uniform circular type of motion : moving the merry go round or the on ceiling fan.

Hence, this is the situation of the mentioned case.
