5.Work, Energy, Power and Collision
easy

A particle is acted upon by a force of constant magnitude which is always perpendicular to the velocity of the particle, the motion of the particle takes place in a plane. It follows that

A

Its velocity is constant

B

Its acceleration is constant

C

Its kinetic energy is constant

D

It moves in a straight line

(AIEEE-2004)

Solution

(c)When a force of constant magnitude which is perpendicular to the velocity of particle acts on a particle, work done is zero and hence change in kinetic energy is zero.
