प्रश्न
A particle is acted upon by a force of constant magnitude which is always perpendicular to the velocity of the plane. The motion of the particle takes place in a plane. It follows that
(a) its velocity is constant
(b) its acceleration is constant
(c) its kinetic energy is constant
(d) it moves in a circular path.

उत्तर
(c) its kinetic energy is constant
(d) it moves in a circular path.
When the force on a particle is always perpendicular to its velocity, the work done by the force on the particle is zero, as the angle between the force and velocity is 90° . So, kinetic energy of the particle will remain constant. The force acting perpendicular to the velocity of the particle provides centripetal acceleration that causes the particle to move in a circular path.
