MCQ
The kinetic energy of a particle continuously increases with time:
  • A
    The resultant force on the particle must be parallel to the velocity at all instants.
  • B
    The resultant force on the particle must be at an angle less than 90° all the time.
  • C
    The magnitude of its linear momentum is increasing continuously.
  • B and C both

Answer

Correct option: D.
B and C both
Explanation:
As K.E. of particle is increasing continuously with time magnitude of its linear momentum must be increasing continuously $\big(\therefore\text{E}=\frac{\text{p}^2}{2\text{m}}\big).$ For this resultant force on the particle must be at an angle less than 90° all the time.
