What determines the nature of the path followed by the particle?
Updated On: Jul 28, 2022
- Speed
- Velocity
- Acceleration
- Both (b) and (c)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The nature of path is decided by velocity, acceleration and its direction. Velocity is the ratio of displacement to time. It is a vector quantity possessing both magnitude and direction. When a particle's velocity changes, the particle is said to undergo acceleration. The instantaneous acceleration is the derivative of the velocity with respect to time. Acceleration is also a vector quantity, possessing both magnitude and direction. Depending on variation of velocity and acceleration, the path could be a straight line, circle or a parabola.

Acceleration
In the real world, everything is always in motion. Objects move at a variable or a constant speed. When someone steps on the accelerator or applies brakes on a car, the speed of the car increases or decreases and the direction of the car changes. In physics, these changes in velocity or directional magnitude of a moving object are represented by acceleration.
