Question
Give an example of an accelerated body, moving with a uniform speed.
Advertisements
Solution
When a body moves over a circular path with constant speed, then body is said to be accelerated. Acceleration is produced in the body due to continuous change in its direction.

State whether true or false. If false, correct the statement.
Acceleration can get negative value also.
Assertion: The accelerated motion of an object may be due to change in magnitude of velocity or direction or both of them.
Reason: Acceleration can be produced only by change in magnitude of the velocity. It does not depend the direction.
Assertion: Position-time graph of a stationary object is a straight line parallel to the time axis.
Reason: For a stationary object, the position does not change with time.
