7. MOTION
medium

State which of the following situations are possible and give an example for each of these:

$(a)$ an object with a constant acceleration but with zero velocity

$(b)$ an object moving with an acceleration but with uniform speed.

$(c)$ an object moving in a certain direction with an acceleration in the perpendicular direction.

Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D

Solution

$(a)$ Possible

When a ball is thrown up at maximum height, it has zero velocity, although it will have constant acceleration due to gravity, which is equal to $9.8\,m/s^2$.

$(b)$ Possible

When a car is moving in a circular track, its acceleration is perpendicular to its direction.
