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