MCQ
When the velocity of body is variable, then
- AIts speed may be constant
- BIts acceleration may be constant
- CIts average acceleration may be constant
- ✓All of these
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
All of these
d
(d)
(d)
If velocity is changing they may change in magnitude or direction or both.
$(i)$ So, if velocity is changing in direction only the magnitude is constant so speed is constant.
$(ii)$ If only direction of velocity is changing and magnitude is constant then acceleration will also be constant in magnitude (in case of uniform circular motion).
$(iii)$ Average acceleration may be constant. $a_{ av }=\frac{v_2-v_1}{t_2-t_1}$

→A cylindrical furnace has height $(H)$ and diameter $(D)$ both $1 \mathrm{~m}$. It is maintained at temperature $360 \mathrm{~K}$. The air gets heated inside the furnace at constant pressure $P_a$ and its temperature becomes $T=360 \mathrm{~K}$. The hot air with density $\rho$ rises up a vertical chimney of diameter $d=0.1 \mathrm{~m}$ and height $h=9 \mathrm{~m}$ above the furnace and exits the chimney (see the figure). As a result, atmospheric air of density $\rho_a=1.2 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}$, pressure $P_a$ and temperature $T_a=300 \mathrm{~K}$ enters the furnace. Assume air as an ideal gas, neglect the variations in $\rho$ and $T$ inside the chimney and the furnace. Also ignore the viscous effects.
