When a force of constant magnitude and a fixed direction acts on a moving object, then its path is

A

Circular

B

Parabolic

C

Straight line

D

Either $(b)$ or $(c)$

Solution

(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
