Question

A particle is moving along an elliptical path with a constant speed. As it moves from A to B, magnitude of its acceleration.

• A. continuously increases
• B. continuously decreases
• C. Remains constant
• D. first increases and then decreases

Answer 1

The correct option is D first increases and then decreases

A body moving horizontally with an acceleration in vertical direction is possible in a projectile motion. in a Elliptical path motion if one is moving with a constant speed, the motion is still said to be accelerated motion as the direction of velocity changes at every point of the path
