When a constant force is applied to a particle, its acceleration will

Options

  1. Abe undefined
  2. Bremain constant
  3. Cgradually decrease
  4. Dgradually increase

Correct answer

B. remain constant

Step-by-step solution

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force applied on a particle is given by F=maF = ma, where mm is the mass of the particle and aa is its acceleration.

Since the mass of a particle is constant, a constant force FF will produce a constant acceleration a=Fma = \dfrac{F}{m}.

Therefore, the acceleration of the particle will remain constant.
