MCQ
When a force of constant magnitude and a fixed direction acts on a moving object, then its path is
- ACircular
- BParabolic
- CStraight line
- ✓Either $(b)$ or $(c)$
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Either $(b)$ or $(c)$
d
(d)
(d)
$1$. To move a particle in circular motion centripetal force is required which has variable direction.
$2$. Parabolic is possible (example projectile motion)
$3$. If force is in the direction of motion or just opposite to it, path will be straight line
