Question

When a force of constant magnitude and a fixed
direction acts on a moving object, then its path is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Path could either be Parabolic or Straight Line.

Explanation:

Reasons for the path either being Parabolic or Straight line;-

Straight Line;- Imagine an object been dropped from some height. If we quite observe it, then the body falls on a straight line. Here, force f = mg. Which implies, mass (m) and (g) being constant will yield a constant force making it possible for the object the move in a parabolic path.

Parabolic;- Imagine a body under projectile motion. Suppose it is projected with v velocity in horizontal direction ( x-axis ). Here, force f = mg. Which implies, mass (m) and (g) being constant will yield a constant force making it possible for the object the move in a parabolic path.
